I’m glad you like the site. I would post more often, but I always get caught up in other online tasks I’m involved in. I have a lot more Jazz licks I need and want to add. So as long as you’re a subscriber you’ll get notified as soon as I post them.

The man definitely has some killer chops. Watching him adjust his embouchure makes me think back to all of my trumpet teachers (including my present one) who have said that the change in embouchure between high & low registers should be as minimal as possible, that all you need is that strong, steady stream of air. I also think that a lot of players can get too caught up in thinking about what my mouth is doing when I should just be playing!

I also think you should post more often! I love the licks you contribute! Thank you for giving me another resource to draw from in my everyday playing.
