| I let the trumpet in my head dictate to the trumpet in my hand.
I sing mentally everything I play. I don't change anything physically.
I phrase according to the place I am, try it. Try singing Basie, then immediately go to Mahler. It's easier than you think.
Playing Bernstein is a perfect example of switching gears instantly.
