Learning from the Genius of Louis Armstrong

[@TheCabbageMan]

Its always such a treat to listen to professional musicians breakdown these musical topics while sharing the enthusiasm and love for the music and artists. Makes the videos interesting and informative. Really good channel and really underrated imo

[@StantawnKendrick]

[@BrianOates]

Beautiful sound Evan gets here, great concise lesson, very easy to digest concepts. Thank you for this!

[@chauquynhle]

Thank you for the lesson, it's amazing! Do you have any source of how to pick up learning clarinet? I have not been successful finding a clarinet teacher in Vietnam :(

[@goneaerial41]

I would buy a duo album with these two... hint, hint.

[@JazzAcademy]

They recorded one! It's called Louie's Dream

[@goneaerial41]

@@JazzAcademy Thanks, I'll pick it up!

[@aaronw447]

I want to learn clarinet just to take lessons from Evan C.

[@Xavierlive-tx8mv]

The clarinet he uses is a Selmer from the 1930’s. I asked him recently in his “Farewell Blues” video

[@mickkennedy1344]

Humans don't play an instrument the way they sing -- but Louis did ( and I say it 'Looey'. like Louis liked

[@AndersonSilva-bo6wh]

A part of us Brazilians want to learn how to play jazz we need caption :)

[@JazzFan76]

I try to improvise on songs but to me, it sounds like I'm just playing random notes that don't fit in with the melody so I just play the melody as is on my trumpet. Unfortunately, since I have a learning disability and a hard time concentrating, it makes playing an instrument twice as hard. I don't know any jazz musician who has learning disabilities, autism and ADHD. It sucks not having a normal mind where you can think and be creative freely like these cats in the video.

[@cdifffc1754]

Hey I'm a beginner -ish trumpet player (7 months) , and i had that problem of worrying so much about sounding good that you enter panic and lose focus on the music. When i started to play with disregard for how bad I might sound, I was able to embrace my passion and feel the music emotionally, it worked great and I basically got so much better from just one practice session. Allow yourself to make mistakes and love what your doing :)

[@cdifffc1754]

@@JazzFan76 Glad to hear your still playing:)

[@anthonyflanders1347]

Is he playing German system

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

Evan is playing Albert system clarinet, some pre-WW2 Selmer model. You can use German system as well, of course, but perhaps an instrument with a fewer keys and rings. German system clarinets have a larger bore, broader sound, so the jazz techniques bends, slides, trills, etc. will sound more detailed.

[@honoredutrey]

The problem is that most young jazz musicians think that jazz began with J.Coltrane.
