Don Ellis' Child Of Ecstasy

As a huge fan of Don Ellis it's really special for me to get a chance to play his music this one in particular is one of my favorite tunes. It combines Don's "out there" writing and monumental trumpet lines reminiscent of Maynard Ferguson or Cat Anderson.

what sizze mouthpiece do you use? name brand size ^-^?

I was playing a Marcinkiewicz there but in reality it doesn't matter what I played. I have a half dozen mouthpieces I could've played it on, what matters is how a mouthpiece fits you! Figuring that out takes lots of trial and error and/or a good teacher to help you in the process.
