Just added the Hummel...

NickD · 11-30-2008, 04:11 AM

Today (11/29/08) I had a tough gig with a rock band. In the afternoon, in preparation, I recorded a read through of the Hummel, 3rd movement. I need to do contrasting work during the day with the gigs I face in the evening, for sanity's sake. Just go to...

YouTube - Hummel Trumpet Concerto - 3rd Movement

Just tying to share. As jazz player, I know I'm a little out of my element, but I do like to try and keep my hand in. I do wish I could get e new Eb. My old axe is pretty messed up, but it will have to do for now.

I hope some folks can enjoy this.

Peace.

Nick,
Very nice! What kind of Eb is that? Is it an older Schilke?

Nick,

You're amazing!

I always enjoy hearing you play!

Thanks, Chuck! You are most kind. As a jazz/lead player I think it is very important to keep my hand in with classical playing as an underpinning of all that I do.

Crusader, as to Eb, the neatest one I've ever had was a Stomvi that Felix brought to a trumpet show we did here in the Chicago area. I wish I had the bread to buy one! A member of the CSO bought the one Felix had brought with him. Right now, I'm paying tuition for my son in college (go Illini!) so given how rarely I get to play Eb for pay, I can't justify buying a new one, right now.

That horn was cobbled together from spare parts by Wayne Tanabe many years ago. It never really played that well on the D side and the Eb setup is only OK (quite a bit out of tune). I had an old cheap Yamaha short model and Wayne had a couple of bells laying around, so at my urging, I convinced him to throw this together. It got me through grad school!

I literally slapped this together in the afternoon as part of my warm up for my evening rock gig. It was a blast fest, and I could see that coming, so I wanted my afternoon practice session to be a more sublime moment. I'd love to actually work this piece up and record it with a full orchestra. Hope springs eternal!

Peace, all!

Thanks for the info!
I wish that I could "slap somehting together" and have it sound that good.

Very nice, and If you do perform it with strings, be sure to post a video!
I do agree with you when it comes to keeping one's legit chops up, even if you're a jazz player by trade. I think that you should always learn the "classical" way of an instrment, I think that you then fully understand the horn and what you're doing with it. Just a thought...

Cheers
