Trumpet

There are two major themes that dominate the score of this film, a melodic solo saxophone, and dissonant trumpets over rhythmic drums. The sighing of the solo saxophone evokes the lonely melancholy of an individual alienated from the bigger environment he dwelled in. With the smooth, jazzy tones from the eight-bar sax, it also complements the night glamour of the New York City’s urban terrain. When we see Travis on his yellow cab passing through the various neighborhood of this fascinating city,…

Steve played the trumpet, John played the saxophone, J.T. Butler played the guitar along with Paul, Daniel Lopez played the drums, Doug Davis played the keyboard, and Rick Lincoln played the bass. The style of jazz music the group played sounded like blues and soul jazz. It was very soothing and relaxing to listen to. The music that the group produced was smooth throughout the concert. In the second song, the trumpet player used the technique of covering the hole of the trumpet where the sound…

previous assessment, I was a casual listener because I didn’t know the name of the song or artist, but I paid attention to the piece. Furthermore, I was a referential listener because I pictured some scenes while listening to the jazz music. When the trumpet played, it reminded me of a scene where a band is playing jazz music in the background at a bar and people are dancing to the beat and melody of the jazz music. The performance played 7 pieces: “Beautiful Love” by Victor Young, “Alice and…

Concert Report: Junior Recital Joe Crabb, Trumpet Drew Bridges, Tenor After my experience in this concert, I discover that I will like to continue going to this concerts or recitals. Not only because the concert is free, but also because I enjoy seeing the talent that my schoolmates have. This concert was a sonata.

following Billie Holiday in the song, “Love Me or Leave Me.” She contributes a strong vocal presence while the trumpet, alto saxophone, and piano compliment her voice. The trumpet and the alto saxophone lead off the song and Billie Holiday joins in powerfully at 00:17. Her voice seems to dominate at times, particularly towards the end of each chorus. During most of Holiday’s verse, the trumpet and alto saxophone are not as clearly noticeable as they are during the introduction or at times of…

front of the venue and the audience took a sit at a really close distance from them; allowing us to really enjoy and feel the music.

where he graduated. What made him so successful was that he didn’t only learn in the classroom he learned outside of it in jazz clubs as well. He got to meet some of the very greats in jazz history and was inspired by them. Although this 26-year-old trumpet player is new to the spot light he has accomplished a lot. Josh preformed three songs during this late night session. The first one was…

valves of the trumpet add lengths of tubing to the instrument to decrease the pitch. The first valve lowers it by a whole tone, then the second by a semitone, and the third by a minor third. For example, the valves are shown here in order to play the notes of the scale. The first valve extends the trumpet’s tube by 160 mm, the second by 70 mm, and lastly the third by 270 mm. These measurements are just the right distance for changing the pitch by the expected interval. When the trumpet valve is…

rubato Kenton-ish introduction begins with the trumpets announcing the majestic start of festivities at the bull ring. The bull fight begins with the chart breaking into a burning samba groove at measure 11. The saxes make the first statement of the melody at measure 19. Crisp brass backgrounds punctuate the second statement of the melody at measure 35. At measure 51, the harmonized trombones and bari sax begin a smooth-flowing bridge. When the trumpets take over the melody at measure 59, the…
