The trumpet player in this clip plays with us regularly up here in Maine. Check out the dancer - she's fairly famous down there. The tune is called "Smiles"

If you insist! Hey! ... what's up with the extended footage of a stinking pigeon, while ... ah, there she is again. That looks rather strenuous, I bet she'd enjoy dancing like that more here where it's cool.pwhitaker wrote:Check out the dancer
Trumpet player sounds good to me. I must say it isn't my favorite tune, usually played a little too heavy and seems to have a natural tendency to sound tired.

I thought the pigeon did a very authentic NOLA strut. Probably just like the jazz pigeons on Bourbon street did in the roaring '20's.Donn wrote:... what's up with the extended footage of a stinking pigeon,pwhitaker wrote:Check out the dancer

Re: Really basic Dixieland tuba playing lessons
the best players were gone from NOLA in the early 20s. So that pigeon strut was to subpar music....

Re: Really basic Dixieland tuba playing lessons
In the 6th or 7th video lesson I cover augmented and diminished chords. Also, I helped a guy do a jazz camp for kids last summer and, IMO, the best backup instrument for teaching jazz is the 4 string banjo. it's portable and needs no amp. I could take a group into the corner and work with them or back the whole group.

Re: Really basic Dixieland tuba playing lessons
Woody Allen said he got into New Orleans jazz when he was a teenager because it was like rock and roll. Of course because the style was horn/piano based, it evolved into art music. Rock and Roll didn't evolve in the same way, IMO, because it is guitar based. Guitarists don't read and those that do generally do not play Rock.
I went to a lecture about swing in early jazz at New Orleans park in the French Market. The speaker's contention was that there is swing in this early jazz, but it is more subtle than today's swing. He also claimed that new Orleans rock music has the same swing. If you listen carefully you may be able to convince yourself of this.
