Manny, I really value your opinion and advice. I am, however, strictly a jazz player (small group soloist...not lead.)

From talking with many trumpet players from varied backgrounds, do you think that your approach to practicing and playing can be taken regardless of the type of music to be performed?

As a jazz player, is it appropriate for me to approach practicing and performing the same way you do? I know that no two players are the same, and everyone's approach are at least slightly different, but I am just curious if there is some vast difference in the fundamental concepts towards different types of music.

Thanks.

Joe
