| Re: Range
When I was a young, a very young trumpet player, I played in bands with some heavy lead players. Guys who had played with Basie, Ellington and some other great bands. When I would try my best high notes, they would double up with laughter. They gently explained that unasked for high notes weren't cool. They explained that the arranger knew what he was doing. "Stick to the charts" was Lammar Wright's advice to me. I don't EVER add notes that aren't asked for. That's advice that gets you called by arrangers in the pro world.
