Bob,
I also was surprised to see this strip. While I don't get it in our
local paper I've seen it several times. It seems to have been going
on for a long time. My impression was that the strip originator
either 1) has a fascination with Bunny Berigan or 2) has a
fasciniation with trumpets. Either way, it puts him way over the top
as far as my assessment of his strip. :-)
Do you know if there is any factual information in the strip? If so,
perhaps that would indicate that he has an interest in Mr. Berigan.
My guess is that not many people who read the strip actually know that
Bunny Berigan was a real person. Does anyone have any information on
his life or recordings?

Has anyone else been reading the current storyline in the "Crankshaft"
syndicated comic strip (US and possibly Canada. Anywhere else?)?
A small amount of background. Crankshaft's (the main character, a late 60-ish
stereotypical "grumpy old man") grandson wants to play in a (rock) band.
Crankshaft has a friend who wanted to play in a band also.
Turns out this friend was a trumpeter who hooked up with Bunny Berrigan in the
1930's. The story line is still continuing, with several mishaps (the
friend's freind pawns his buddy's horn to get money to impress a show girl)
and highlights (today's segment features the New Your musicians' response to
the friend's rendition of "I Can't Get Started" at at late-night jam session
at the Onyx Club). A very interesting series, even if there' more fancy than
fact(?).
I wish I had saved the series from the start. Oh, well.
And it even pertains to the trumpet! Imagine that...

Bob Eye

I just received a brochure from Wheaton [Illinois] College advertising
their "Artist" concert series for 1997-1998. Two of note for TPINers
in this area [western Chicago suburbs] are:
Saturday, January 24, 1998 : Prague Chamber Orchestra [with Sergei
Nakariakov, trumpet, and Valentina Lisitsa, piano, performing the
Shostakovich Piano Concerto Nr. 1], and
Thursday March 26, 1998: London Brass
The performances will be at Wheaton College's Edmon Chapel, a hall
with absolutely wonderful acoustics.
For ticket info call the college ticket office at 630-752-5010.
Since Nakariakov and the London Brass are obviously on tour in the US,
check your own venues; they may be appearing at a hall near you!!

The main bio on Bunny is:
AUTHOR Dupuis, Robert, 1926-
TITLE Bunny Berigan : elusive legend of jazz /
PUBLISHER Louisiana State University Press, c1993.
It covers his life and includes some interviews with family and band
members. It is not of the quality (IMHO) of Sudhalter's "Bix," but
provides as much info in one volume as I am aware of. Unfortunatly it does
NOT include a comprehensive discography! I believe Sudhalter wrote the
liner notes to the Time/Life tribute record as well as the RCA series of
recordings.
There are many cd's available, including some live recordings which show
him really cooking. If you are not familiar with Bunny.....get some of his
cd's and LISTEN. Great tone, power and a wonderful soloist. He was one of
the true greats of his or any era and desereves wider recognition. You
will slow find him on Goodman and T. Dorsey recordings of the 30's and
early 40's.
A final note: Monday, June 2 will mark the 55th anniversery of his far too
early death.

Subject: Re: Gerard Schwartz
I think It's about time I put my 2 cents in. In the mid to late 70's
(I'm dating myself now) I studied with Gerard Schwarz, please note the
spelling. During this time he had proved himself to be an outstanding
trumpet player and musician. You can hear him while he was a member of
the American Brass Quintet. I believe he was instrumental in making the
ABQ one of the finest in the world. As his mentor, teacher William
Vacchiano, former principal of the NY Philharmonic decided that his
successor should be Schwarz. He was very well groomed for the position
and new the literature inside out. Unfortunately Jerry was an
outstanding soloist in smaller group settings. It showed during the
period he was with the NY Philharmonic as he played the Haydn many times
among others, to rave reviews. Other things were also happenning in his
life including a divorce. It seemed that the intense pressure of the
principal chair in one of the greatest orchestra along with some of the
other problems in his life compounded. Obvious playing the principal
chair in any major orchestra can put alot of stress on you. I think that
a combination of all of these things were contibuting factors which led
him away from the trumpet. I personally didn't think he had the chops,
endurance for the principal chair. His forte was smaller horns and
smaller groups.
But what an amazing musician. The fact that he achieved enormous success
as a player and was able to stop playing and then to become a conductor
of major orchestras was simply amazing. It is a tribute to his musical
talent. Instead of critizing him for certain works we all should
compliment him on an outstanding musical career. Praise him for what he
has accomplished.

Does anybody know anything about the "Relative Pitch Ear Training

of 5 levels ($45 per level), with 8 lessons/four 90-minute audio
cassettes per level. A bit cheaper if you buy all 5 levels. I figure if
it's any good, it'd be similar in cost to a college class, but I can
repeat it as often as I want at no additional cost! I showed the ad to
my trumpet teacher, but he had no opinion, as he wasn't familiar with
it. Said maybe I could try it. He wants me to learn Solfege (I had an
earlier posting on that), and I will--I'm not going to go against what
he wants me to do, but this may be an additional help. Anybody know if
the program is any good?

David,
I have a book called "Disney Movie Favorites" that has most (maybe
all--I haven't checked) of the songs from Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast,
and The Little Mermaid." (15 songs all together) Published by Hal
Leonard, the trumpet book is ISBN 0-7935-3265-4, and piano accompaniment
book, if you want it, is HL00849937. The trumpet book was $5.95 and the
piano one was 14.95. There are other collections available, too, I

410 & Callaghan) right here in San Antonio. If you want, e-mail me
privately & we could get further acquainted, as fellow trumpeters in the

Sunday, July 6 3 p.m.-4:30 p.m. McNay Art Museum

Subject: IGNORANT: New music notation
I don't know about anyone else, but, my old brainbox gets all
discombobulated whenever I try to think about this. Just what the
H-E-doublehockeysticks does it mean to write something in "sounds as"
pitch? Either it's on pitch or it's not. Right?
If a player using a "sounds as" book reads and plays a top space E
with a 12 fingering and a........
No, that's not right.
If a player using a Bb instrument reads an E and a player using an Eb
instrument reads..... an...... E...... then......
I can't even ask the question I'm so confused about this. For the
sake of the ignorant among us (me) could someone explain this? I
think a concrete example would help (or maybe a rock up'side the
head). Pleeeeaase!

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I was reading an
article in the Brass Anthology about a survey they had done in 1947, (this
was an old article) and one of the subjects that generated a lot of
enthusiasm was the concept of writing all treble clef brass in "sounds as"
pitch, like they do for brass in bass clef, or for recorders. My personal
opinion is that I would rather learn one set of fingerings that applies to,
say, all of the different keys of trumpet, play off of a transposed part,
and spend a few minutes during warmup getting a feel for the pitch of the
horn, rather than try to learn adifferent set of fingerings for each
different keyed horn. What do the rest of you think?

Yup...and when you think about it any mute will give you the
same problems. The silent brass mute also makes the upper register
strange as well. It won't slot the same as an open horn, which makes
it, in my opinion, dangerous to practice on for extended periods of
time - over time it'll affect your accuracy.
I have to pull out my slide a lot when I play on the silent brass
mute...as much or more as when I'm using a harmon mute.

Your Yamaha YTR-741 C trumpet is a 1970's model with .445" bore. It was sold
with an optional Bb tuning slide that would give you the equivalent of the
modern 6310BS.

Subject: Re: Amado Water Key - "Moisture Dispersion Unit" (MDU)
I ordered my Schilke X4L without an "MDU" (I got the idea from Faddis' S42L).
Avoid all the questions about resistance from standard "MDU"'s or Amado
keys. NO MDU guarantees no resistance. It's kinda like a hot rod exhaust
system.....big, slow bends without anything to inhibit flow. It just makes
it go faster !! <grin>
