 | Favorite Jazz Horn? Once again i am in the market for a horn suited for jazz. I am looking at a price range of up to $1500, so if you don't have anything in that range can you make some recommendations? thanks

 | Re: Favorite Jazz Horn? No one horn is suited more for one genre over another. If I am wrong about this I'll resign my Moderator status. I'm serious about this! Take the Schilke. Is it a jazz horn or a classical horn? Good luck finding a definitive answer! It ain't what you play, but how you play it! A "jazz" horn is played by a "jazz musician", a "classical" horn is played by a "classical player"; a "lead horn" is played by a "lead trumpeter". (Please note: A true Vulgano works his/her butt off tuning to the Clarini.) Serious stuff! If you practice enough, the right trumpet will find you!

I'm serious about this! ----------- So let me get this right, if I can come up with just one type of horn that's more suited in one genre over another, you're gonna commit moderator hari kari? ------------ You don't see a lot of clarini in jazz. |

| Re: Favorite Jazz Horn? I am a jazz player. I chose my trumpet because it felt good to me, was easy to play in tune, and because it offered the most contrast to my sound on flugelhorn. I actively sought out a trumpet that felt good with a Harmon mute. Even took my Jo-Ral with me to try them out. While it may or may not be true that certain horns are more suited to a specific genre or style, it is safe to say that most jazz players take more liberties with bending pitches and using a kind of flexibilty that would have more ligitimate players recoiling in horror. As highly personal as your jazz sound is, your horn can help you project it. I feel the most comfortable with horns that most players refer to as having "loose slotting." Play as many different trumpets as you practically can, even different horns of the exact same model where possible. Be patient...your jazz trumpet will find you, and when it does, you'll know it! |
