Fk all the Youtubers -- you went for it!

do you really think Clifford used 3rd finger trigger for low Ds and C#s, and 2nd and 3rd for upper Eb? No way. Just be natural..

Yeah man...I remember when I was heavy into CLifford playing his transcriptions written and writing them myself. I think the most important you need to remember is that Jazz music like Classical is a style and trumpet playing is just trumpet playing. WIth all music you have to feel it but Jazz music especially you have to put what some cats call "Stank" on the notes. That comes with letting go of trying to be so perfect or clean the way classical musicians (not the music) have made it.

Agreed...

cliff was extremely clean at articulation. and note choice he's not dirty. get it right.

i think dizzy said it best...white trumpet players can't swing. loosin up man smoke a joint and get back at it. nice tone tho

I agree... jazz is all about feeling. Clifford Brown was considered "hard bop" which was an even dirtier and rougher form of jazz.. So he didn't really care about notes so much as putting feeling into the song.

hey man - i think what trump34 meant was that it doesn't have much feel to it. Don't be afraid to ghost some of the notes, and miss some of them, the most important thing about playing jazz is the feeling, not the notes. Crackheads used to f*ck each other while listening to jazz, i don't think they were listening for correct intonation and notes.

Yes I know. I need to articulate better and keep a steadier tempo.

[trump34]

well.............you got all the notes right.
