I have been playing trumpet for 51 years. I retired during the pandemic. My trumpet teachers and musical instructors are of legends Your approach to revealing the secrets of improvisation are remarkable. Your understanding that your playing will only become advanced with the persistent exposure to continuos jam sessions and the growth of playing in real time with real players. Dr. Donald Byrd always quoted the teachings of Bruce Lee Staying " swimming and fighting are similar in the fact that you must experience swimming in actual water and engaging in actual combat to understand the mechanics of your experience" So we must approach music with the same understanding as swimming in actual water and engaging in actual combat to understand the mechanics of Jazz. I truly appreciate and enjoy your teaching It is simplified for beginners and advanced players. You are so correct about your prolific statement that Jazz is a language and there's many versions of the dialect. I chose the dialect of the 50s and 60s. Thank you again
@@chasesanborn My trumpet teachers were Richard Williams Dave Burns Tommy Turintine Dr Donald Byrd Woody Shaw and Don Hahn. I was passed from teacher to teacher as my advancement progressed Richard Williams gave me to Dave Burns because he was constantly working with GG Gryce Charles Mingus and the Ray Charles orchestra.. Dave Burns eventually sent me to Tommy Turintine because his health started to fail. Tommy Turintine sent me to Dr Donald Byrd at NYC Jazz mobile. Dr Donald Byrd turned me on to Woody Shaw. I began training with Don Hahn for additional Big band Jazz language. Every little bit helps Thank you again for your teaching methods
I'm not a trombone doubler, so I don't have personal insight, but I'd think one of the greatest challenges would be creating vibrations with a much smaller part of your lips (the source of trumpet and French horn neurosis :). I'd also think you might feel hemmed in by the measured length of valve tubing as opposed to the flexibility of the trombone slide. Overall, the general advice for playing any brass instrument is to let your body dictate the process, and don't rush it. Thanks for the comment!
I think the confusion stems from comparing a mode to the major scale which contains the same notes rather than the same root. The names make it all seem even more obscure.

That's a pretty good lineage!
What a great lesson 👏
Glad you find it to be so! 😃
Great lesson, and even greater tone. Im a trombonist, and just recently started to learn trumpet. Any tips you can give would be very helpful.

@@chasesanborn understood. Thanks for the advise.
A mode is a scale. Exactly. People make this too complicated.
