Thanks Bob, Your videos on Tone and air speed for higher notes are great. Trying to get back to trumpet at age 80 after many years.

This is so awesome, and thank you for sharing this video! My question may be a bit nerdy: can you please address more about the difference between doodle and double tonguing? I understand that instead of saying : "tu-ku" in double tonging, say: "da-dle, dee-dle, di-dle, do-dle, doo-dle" in doodle tonguing, but I'm not sure I got the details correct. I feel the mechanics of both are very similar, but instead of using the back of tongue ( the "ku" part) in double tonguing, use the middle part of the tongue ( the "-dle" part) in doodle tonguing. Otherwise the mechanics of both techniques are the same in the sense that the tongue is rocking back and forth by touching the tip and either the back or the middle of the tongue to the upper part of the mouth. I appologize if this gets too much into details :p Thanks!

I use a harmon, but I have packed the inside with a fiber fill. You can use foam too. Don't block the airway. Same air flow but even less volume.

My only complaint is that it's over

Hey nerds, before anybody notices, I somehow put the wrong graphic in for Amin7, but it's an ordeal to delete and re-upload videos, so just assume that I'm a genius and I meant to voice the chord as an Amin7(9,11) without the root or the third, and refer to the PDF in the description for the more pedestrian spelling of A-C-E-G.

it doesnt work jazz is not even a music

Woo! I commented on your video "How Does Jazz Improvisation Work?" like 4 months ago. I suddenly came to think of this channel again so I decided to check you out. Absolute perfect timing, please continue this series!! 💜💜💜

Thank you, Bob! Please continue these series

excellent video! Almost cinematic. Really well done!

thanks.

You got me confused with playing jazz but doing blues 😭

Great video, as usual. Lots of information to digest…thanks!

Brilliant video, thanks so much, and well done to all of you!

👌👍

This was a blast. Lots of fun and informative too.

I love your videos.! I noice that as trumpet players go up and down in pitch their heads also tilt up and down. You can see it very clearly when you play in this video. I haven’t seen any videos that comment on this. Does that mean it’s not important for going up and down in pitch?

I loved your commentary - explain and then do...🤩

Fantastic, thank you for this!

So boooring!!! Not only this clip, but jazz in its entirety!

This was great, thank you!

Excellent presentation & explanation. After many, many years, I now have a basic idea of how jazz works & feels like I've been let in on a hidden secret!

I thought it was only about playing #4

So are you changing scales every chord change?

Love the way you explain things. I am using your book…those tips should help me to get better results. Happy New Year!

the video is amazing, exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot! Very well explained and demonstrated

MAYBE YOU KNOW MUSIC (MAYBE), BUT YOU APPARENTLY KNOW N-O-T-H-I-N-G ABOUT BASIC LIGHTING ! YOUR VIDEO IS SO DARK IT'S NOT EVEN VIEWABLE. DID YOU EVEN BOTHER TO VIEW IT YOURSELVES BEFORE POSTING?? AND IF YOU'RE NOT EVEN CAREFUL ABOUT THAT, IT SUGGESTS THAT YOUR MUSIC EXPERTISE MIGHT ALSO BE QUESTIONABLE. SO WHO WANTS TO STUDY WITH A BUNCH OF C-L-O-W-N-S WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING??? THE INTERNET IS ALREADY IS FULL OF THOSE.

Molto bello interessante e divertente. Complimenti

Oh this man didn’t make his trumpet cry oh no… This man made his trumpet SING .. my goodness to use a long stemmed (what I think is a margarita glass, as a plunger to soften its tone). I mean wow.

This is amazing, now I just a lot more about the trumpet, the most difficult part of playing trumpet is the control of the air and the movements of the tong.

I’m trying to get my kid to play a trumpet solo on a rock song. I composed a guitar solo and transcribed it to trumpet. It’s however not working. It needs more attitude, the solo has to make a statement. This video gives me ideas. Thanks for the AWESOME lesson! 🙏

Heroine ,Booze ,Hookers and Satan + poverty= All dat Jazz😁🤣😂😁

Loved this so much, very useful and enjoyable content. I don't know if it was deliberate or conscious but I found the spoken content subtly musical on top of the instruments too which made it very easy to listen to. Thank you 🙏❤

I love videos like this. I know nothing about music theory, but somehow I enjoy watching them and being completely mystified. Everyone is playing a language I don't know, as if I'm a dog trying to understand how people ipen doors. Basically, you just appreciate it when they do. I love jazz, music in general. Just don't understand it at all.

Like 700…. That’s something!

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

Your plans for the 2025 sessions sound awesome. Deliniating the various branches of improve dissonance, etc. Even as a piano beginner, improvising is the bliss zone. The destination while appreciating how the other instruments, the grass, trees, and rivers surge and fall back in the blended windy rythums. Highly motivating. Your video, "How Jazz Improvization Work?" Is inspiring.

Ahhhh! Didn’t see this vid when I asked. Cool horn!

Yippee. Jazz in 20 minutes 😊. And now for the next 20 years to learn how to play it…

This is such a beautiful upload. Thank you so much for sharing! It's always an honor to hear more about Eric Dolphy's life

Amazing players ❤

Thats sad to hear that Eric Dolphy was not recognized for his innovation in jazz during his lifetime. Everyone knows Trane but I dont think Dolphy got the credit he deserved. When Charles Mingus created his magnum opus which was a jazz symphony, he did it like a practice session in front of an audience at its debut. No doubt the audience was put off by that and many walked out. So he named that work 'epitaph' because he said it would only be heard after his death.

hey Bob (Im Brad, the guy who briefly did lessons with you). You do such a great job of explaining jazz to average people who think jazz just sounds like demonic noise. You should do a series where you talk over famous jazz songs while theyre being played like you did on your 'how jazz works video'.

Is this an old getzen horn? Love the tone

Loved it, outstanding, clear: in the history of music didactics I put this at top level with the lessons of Mr. Bernstein! Thank you soooooooo much!

I love this video!

I subscribed. Can you do ones for other jazz structures as well, not only blues?

Western music is based on the tempered scale where all 12 chromatic notes are spaced out symmetrically so that key changes can be made. Arabic music is based on the harmonic series where notes of the scale are exact ratios of the root note. So if LCC is based on fifths of the tempered scale then its wrong. Id be curious what the LCC would be like if it were based on exact ratios of a fifth. As you mentioned in this video, the scales of arabic music are microtonal and most can not be played on a western piano. However I watch a lot of Turkish music on youtube and I notice they most often use Korg keyboards as this brand comes with oriental presets that allow arabic scales to be played. Im sure there are also DAW plugins that do this, Im currently looking for some myself, if you know of any good ones let me know.

Im watching the video that explains the LCC called "The Book that Changed Jazz Forever" on the 12tone youtube channel in order to see more visually how the LCC works. And I noticed in that in the start of the video he says that he wanted an original 1953 version of the LCC book as the updated editions have changed a lot of information. So I thought that since you attended the college George Russell was a professor at as well as worked with the professor who worked with George Russell that you would have access to the original book.

Thanks for these videos. I'm reading the "So What" Miles autobiography which lead me to his performance of Russell's "Odjenar" which eventually lead me here.

Good stuff!🎶😊👍🏽
