kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYq1qKebeJt7gck Seems some fan has done a compilation of the Milt, Nash, Al Grey and added transcriptions and audio snippets. So one can see what these great trombonists did given this 8 bars to stand up and stand out.

WONDERFUL: The end of the solo in "I've Got You Under My Skin". . . (the entire solo is eight bars long and starts on Gb with double tonguing and a lower neighbor F, then Gb up to Bb, - all this above middle C - some more jazz and and in the last bar or so with that lick you play going up to Db. . .this lick is a sort of blues figure basically) The "Milt" solo is from a famous Capitol Records recording session (the old Melrose studio, before the new Capitol building) where they had trouble getting the solo trombone loud enough for a good "print" on the recording, so they got Milt up on a box pointing up toward the mic. There are a few interesting other stories around that. I believe it can be heard that Milt is playing insanely loudly, even compared with his time on band stand with Kenton. I recall talking w Milt briefly about the event and he did confirm they had trouble getting enough sound. It did, for working trombonists, become a sort of "thing" (and I try to do the Milt solo, or something akin to it in this tune, which is hopefully in that key; transcriptions seem to be available online if you look hard enough) to execute the Milt solo, at least often, if not routinely. Frankly it would be real fun to implement the Dick solo because it's super aggressive, and sounds even a bit harder than the challenging "Milt" one. I think I have also heard an Urbie Green one of these "I've Got You. . " solos from a Sinatra Live Madison Garden event. He also killed on that. . .as Urbie was known to do. It can be seen if you search on Sinatra Madison Square 1974 I've Got You Under My Skin". It looks like Urbie and Jim Pugh are in the trombone section in the band. So, there actually are several interesting versions of this. Sonny Russo comes to mind. He also did fantastic. I have run BRICKWALL into take downs which happen NOT to be in that key. . .and of course it's awkward, and survival just means playing jazz and making it make some sense. People have had pleasant reactions when I lay out the actual "Milt" solo in convincing fashion. Of course the Dick Nash one, and the one from the Count Basie band are also excellent and super convincing. As you probably remember me saying, Dick Nash was an early idol of mine and I spent all the time I could listening to everything Dick played.

@crtune21 күн бұрын
LOL. Listening carefully to the Capitol recording that spawned this whole thing you can hear the strings louder than the entire trombone section which is obviously getting really "brassy" sounding. The mics used on the bones, especially Milt were not printing much sound over into the control room. This was back before they routinely ran in dozens of mics on big band sound. This was done at the Melrose studio used by Capitol before they built the "stack of records" style building and Studio A, etc. It's fun to do the Milt solo on this, because it gets smiles from those knowing fans in the audience. I'm sure Bryant kills on this. It's a hip chart imo.

Some designs have different tapers that don’t fit well in some bells. My Harmon made by Harmon fits great in my Bach 6, 12, & 16 but not in the 36, 42, or 47. Not so great n other horns. There really isn’t a good fix for a Harmon but try a different brand of bubble or Harmon and see if they fit better. Unfortunately, they are expensive.

Thank you so much for these videos. I am a recovering trombonist who has had a relapse. (I was SO cool in about 1995 that Slide Hampton told me I had chops-a-plenty) After two years of majoring in music, became a performance major, and then freaked out and quit. (I have some lingering angst about that) I've recently returned to playing, and its like I've been in prison for 30 years. Things have changed on the outside. I joined the community band, met some folks and now I'm in a trombone choir, subbing for a swing band, and might end up in a real Chicago area jazz band. Blah blah, the point is, I'm trying to explain my need to catch the hell up, and thank you for your frank, insightful, discussions about equipment. Some people are fanatical about it, some grab whatever is close by. I have always had a need to control anything I can about my playing, including exactly how everything blows, feels, functions and flows. I've never played outside of the ivory tower. I've been trying to learn everything I can about what works, what doesn't, how to transport it, how to load in and out. What I'm saying is, I cant thank you enough for you clear explanations of how things work, don't work, and when and why. I just ordered the black mute you like the least, but I think I might be able to make it work. My day job is restoration work on vintage cars, so I think I might fabricate a bucket mute from a Fez in your honor. Please keep them coming, I need your help and advice.

Hey Bryant, I have had a bit of quandary for years with mouthpieces and just moved to the 5G from the 4G and would like to hear your thoughts if possible. I play Lead Trombone in an English Champiionship Section Brass Band. This chair is a pig of a seat to fill as you have to be an orchestral symphony player, sometimes a jazz player, and also play all night at the top of the chord and the instrument is never off your face. Overall the tenor seats in an top class English Brass Band require wide bore instruments and I play a 40 year old Elkhart 88H and the 5G helps with the high stuff a little bit with very little detriment to the sound. I would still like a little more help upstairs though and wondered about the 5GS. Do you think that the 5GS with the smaller throat would help playing high for long periods - and what about the possibility of switching from the 5G to the 5GS for different programs? As they are the same rim size would that be fairly easy to do or could you foresee any problems with that? - I would appreciate your reply - and anybody else reading this - ALL ideas are good - some just more good than others! 🙂
@mrbtadashi Жыл бұрын
The 5G certainly would make things easier than playing on a four and a 5GS would brighten things up even more. My issue with the 5G S is that it can be a bit splashy. I find that I lose weight of sound and breadth of tone on the 5G. S. Sometimes if I get a little excited, it can become splotchy and very bright. It takes a lot of self-control after moving so much air through larger Mouthpieces to be able to play on the GS without getting overly bright, thin, toned and splattery. It would be worth looking into if you feel that you can keep yourself from getting too rambunctious while playing. I find that if I back off and just let the mouthpiece do the heavy lifting things work out much better. when I’m playing in a group I don’t notice the shortcomings of my sound as much as when I try to practice at home. It can be so frustrating to hear myself sounding so thin that I actually will stop playing that mouthpiece and go back to my regular mouthpiece. The danger is that if you do not practice on the 5G S it is hard to stay in control without getting barkish and thin sounding. When I do practice up on the GS and back off on my air and let the mouthpiece cut through the sound. I find that I can play softer than I think I is necessary while still being heard very well in front of the ensemble.

Hi again, I played on the 5gs artisan for a couple of weeks and it's too lightweight.. if you put any decent amount of air through it it breaks up.. probably ok if you're blowing straight into a microphone but not any good for a live brass band or orchestra. In the meantime I have been getting stuck into the standard 5G and that seems to improve week on week so I think I'm going to stick with that one. It really does make a superb sound on my Conn 88h. Thanks very much for the input, Russ 👍

@mrbtadashi Жыл бұрын
I’m sorry but I don’t have much info on alto mouthpieces. Steve Ferguson at Horn Guys would be the guy I’d ask. That said, I can say that I use an 11C or 61/2AL depending on how I feel. The important thing to remember is Alto has a sound we’re not accustomed to hearing. Most players I meet want it to sound like a small tenor. Try to avoid that quagmire. You will always be disappointed with your sound. If you’re starting out, use what is comfortable and acclimate your ear to this cool new sound. The Alto is an acoustic bridge between trumpets and tenor trombones. Think of the sound as a blend of both.

This is an old video, but I figured I’d put the question out there: is building range on the alto helpful for transferring the range onto the tenor? Personally, I’m interested in the alto for playing music in keys that lend themselves to the Eb horn, but I’d be curious to know if it would be helpful as a practice tool for range as well. Thank you!
@tadashibyers9377 Жыл бұрын
Thank you for asking, as to your question of whether the alto is good for practicing high register? The short answer is yes. I feel that the reason is because there’s better accuracy to slot the note when you get above concert D in the high register. On tenor trombone, the slots become very narrow for E flat E and F. There are no solid slots once you really get above F#. The alto trombone has slots for those notes that can help you develop accuracy in the feel of those notes on your embouchure because the buzz to attain those notes is the same. To develop endurance on that register, you will need to play tenor trombone to be able to build strength in that register.
