| Big Band Trumpet Section Clarification please help this French Horn Player out.
I have seen pictures of my favorite section. Sitting Left to right (stage right to left) was
Thad Jones
Snooky Young
Wendell Cully
Joe Newman
I assume that the outside guys play jazz and the inside guys play lead. But I have some questions
Assuming Snooky is the main lead
1) Is Thad in the Trumpet 2 chair or trumpet 3 chair
2) Is Wendell in the Trumpet 3 or 2 chair
3) Is Joe in the trumpet 4 chair
4) Assuming a G7 chord from top to bottom G, F, D, B
It is clear that Snooky plays the G and Joe plays the B. Who plays the other notes. I.E. Does the second lead player play higher than the jazz chair player
