how many do you play?
oh, and i doubt you noticed my absense since last thursday. i went to Idaho for the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival; and i must say, i feel so inspired by what i heard to play music even more. i'm sure you've heard me bragging abuot my high range for a mere teenager on the trumpet...well since then i feel as if it has gotten even better just from hearing other trumpet players. i felt i was sort of losing it just because i never hear much trumpet music. if you live anywhere near idaho...hell...even if you live in another country and love jazz music you must go to this festival.
and for those of you who think of jazz as people just saying "be da boo ba dee" kind of things...that is part of jazz....i myself am not a huge fan of that. my main interest is non-vocal things. the first night i was there, a lot of things were just singing, but then a non vocal jazz band comes up and it was just amazing
