How I compose a jazz solo

[@georgesember9069]

Excellent, interesting, instructive, and I don’t even play trumpet! Thanks very much for posting!

[@TheBlackTrumpeter]

You’re welcome! What do you play?

@@TheBlackTrumpeter I’m an 80 year old amateur guitarist. During my life I’ve seen at one time or other Miles Davis at the Vanguard with WayneHerbie etc, Chet Baker, Clark Terry, Freddie Hubbard, Tom Harrell, and the first Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Big Band at the Vanguard, and Miles Davis “Bitches Brew” ensemble at the “Both/Club”in San Francisco in 1970 or 71. I was a big fan of Luis Gasca and used to see him in SF back then. I saw Don Cherry with the “Complete Communion” quartet with Gato Barbieri. Saw Woody Shaw at the Keystone Korner in SF in the late 70s I think.

Excellent video. I never thought about it this way.

[@TheBlackTrumpeter]

Thank you. What aspect of my process stood out the most?

[@spartacusjonesmusic]

@@TheBlackTrumpeter For me, it was the very organized, methodical approach, addressing individual elements, then combining them. Also starting at the end -- which, as a writer, I do all the time. I just never conceptualized music the same way. This was a really good one for me.

Love your videos! And what is the best and cheapest cup mute with a stem for a trumpet? What would you recommend

[@TheBlackTrumpeter]

Glad you love my videos. The best person to ask about mutes is @JoshRzepkaMusic he has an entire KZbin channel dedicated to trumpet equipment.
