"Blue Discursion" for Jazz Nonet (w/optional Vocals)

My nonet performing my composition/arrangement "Blue Discursion" at Rose Bowl Tavern on February 19, 2024. It's one of the most difficult tunes I've written specifically for this ensemble and was originally written and performed in 2020 before the pandemic. 4 years later we finally pulled it out and got through it😅🎶

Hi great video! Could you explain to me how to edit a video so that the two parts of a duet are played. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@johndowson7929]

Excellent stuff Peter , hope you are well Dr 😊👍 its the toothless bone player from the uk .wow it is so much more difficult without teeth pal . No teeth no support for mp without teeth its totally relying on muscle structure to support the mp and hokding notes , controlling notes to sound as we want them to sound eg putting emotion into a note that type of control hasnt come easy . Im sure you have walked away from your horn after a session with the thought of yeah man thats how it can sound with a snile on your face m8 , its a marvelous feeking , im not doing too bad im starting to play along with recordings once again

If you don't mind could you please make a video pn how to hit the high notes I'm in high school band and it's so hard for me im looking for a way to hit high notes

[@johndowson7929]

If you keeo the pressure off the mp dnt tense up and reach for the higher partials without forcing , its the opposite to what we instinctively think aw high note I have to put more effort but its actually the opposite if you have the inner muscular scaffold to hold it corners really tight have your lip solid, reach for the note find the right air stream direction n keep trying for the dead center of the note , it won't happen immediately, patients and repetition, just dnt give up on it with the thought of oh I'm never going to get it , kero at it amd eventually you will get it , with less effort than you 1st thought , I dny know what else to advise and good luck keep blowing

@johndowson7929 will this method help me in holding the high notes when I can hit them?
