Good write-up, this is very similar to a site that I have.

Yeah, I love Freddie Hubbard’s lip trills.

You would have to slow it down to find the exact alternate fingerings, but I have a Freddie Hubbard transcription book and it pretty much shows those lip trills as alternate fingerings (usually a major or minor 3rd a part) going up and down half steps and whole steps.

It sounds really cool, as you can hear Freddie Hubbard nail it every time.

How would one go about playing the lick in this vid @ 9:14?

I just had to listen to how awesome that Freddie Hubbard trumpet solo was. Talk about really building up the improv solo.

Freddie started out with a good amount of space, and then went crazy on non stop licks and memorable patterns. It’s really a great listen!!!

Dig the solo and we mourn his recent passing.
