Schrooming and Mozart=an intresting time :rick:

 

Dude, go to class and then go to sleep.




:happysad:

 

Swing music helped me through the longest papers ever. Classic swing music, like Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman. That stuff saved me and my GPA :thumbup:

 

Big Band music is good stuff. you listen to any Kenton? my favorite Big Band of all time.

 

Minnie Ripperton - Loving You

 

I just thought of that south park episode when John Stamos's brother sing Loving You, and he can't get the high F. :rofl:

 

His fantasies, yes. His concertos are quite brilliant but very defined by the times. Mozart's horn concertos are some of his best works though.

Heck yeah... I think that's the CD that's in my car right now. Also, for some reason, I'm in a total Buddy Rich mode right now, but Ellington has been creeping in on the sidelines.



And as a trombonist to a trombonist, if you're currently playing in a big band, check out some of George Stone's work. BRILLIANT stuff with some of the best chords and trombone lines EVER. He's a big writer of those chords that everyone has to be perfectly in tune to sound good, as well as a big writer of moving middle voices. Awesome stuff

 

ahhh, I did not know you were a trombonist. I'll check it out.
I've been playing with a local big band for about a year. I'm the bass trombonist, its so much fun. it really doesn't pay anything, but its a lot of fun.

 

Yep... Jazz Trombonist and classical Hornist. Of course, some of the best shows I ever did involved a french horn in a big band . I was more accomplished playing the Horn, but the Trombone was always my first musical love

I played classical bass trombone in HS, and it was definately rewarding and often lightheaded. I stuck with Tenor (I have a peashooter Strad 12) and Jazz for about... 9 years? This will be the first year in my life since I started playing that I couldn't do music due to my work schedule. There is a classical ensemble I could join, but it would be killer on top of my work schedule and I can't practice in my current apartment anyways. It's a bummer... I loved the yearly trips to the Reno jazz festival :happysad:

 

This Classical Music thing works...it helped me bank out about 2 pages on the fixed income market in about 4 hours (including research)
