| Lead Trumpet Sound
I'm trying to decide what kind of sound I'm looking for in my lead playing. I've been listening to a lot of recordings of myself in rehearsals and a lot of professional recordings. I really like the sound I am getting on my Callet Jazz right now. A big fat 'wall of sound' type thing. But the more recordings I listen to it seems like most of the guys out there working right now have more of a focused 'compact' type sound. What are your opinions on this? Would you rather hear/have that big knock a wall down/part their hair sound? Or would you rather burn a hole in someones forehead? I've heard both done really well and enjoy both sounds. I think I prefer the knock the wall down type sound but is this practical anymore? I could be wrong but I seem to be hearing a lot of guys with the Z-horn type sound. Compact and zippy. What do you think? Is the trend more towards a tighter sound these days? Which type of player is more likely to get work? Thanks!
