Download or read book The Real Way to Play the Cat Anderson Trumpet Method written by Geoff Winstead and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-20 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cat Anderson was one of the greatest high note trumpeters of all time. He consistently played musical passages in the extreme upper register every night of his professional career from 1935 to 1981, most of it with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Geoff Winstead is a professional musician in Southern California who studied with Cat for 8 years and is one of less than 10 actual students that Cat took under his wing (paw?) and may be the only one who went through his entire "method" with him. This book is meant for the serious student, semi-pro or professional trumpet player who wants to increase range, consistency, stamina and power, which are constantly being expanded in today's music. Every lesson has detailed instructions on how to approach each exercise, question and answer areas to help you where you may have problems, links to websites with other valuable information, including "The Science of Breath", which was recommended by Maynard Ferguson in all of his clinics, and personal anecdotes about Cat. The Real Way To Play The Cat Anderson Trumpet Method is meant to correct errors in Cat's original book by putting lessons and exercises into the correct order and include instructions that were never published.

Download or read book Mingus Speaks written by John Goodman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Mingus is among jazz’s greatest composers and perhaps its most talented bass player. He was blunt and outspoken about the place of jazz in music history and American culture, about which performers were the real thing (or not), and much more. These in-depth interviews, conducted several years before Mingus died, capture the composer’s spirit and voice, revealing how he saw himself as composer and performer, how he viewed his peers and predecessors, how he created his extraordinary music, and how he looked at race. Augmented with interviews and commentary by ten close associates—including Mingus’s wife Sue, Teo Macero, George Wein, and Sy Johnson—Mingus Speaks provides a wealth of new perspectives on the musician’s life and career. As a writer for Playboy, John F. Goodman reviewed Mingus’s comeback concert in 1972 and went on to achieve an intimacy with the composer that brings a relaxed and candid tone to the ensuing interviews. Much of what Mingus shares shows him in a new light: his personality, his passions and sense of humor, and his thoughts on music. The conversations are wide-ranging, shedding fresh light on important milestones in Mingus’s life such as the publication of his memoir, Beneath the Underdog, the famous Tijuana episodes, his relationships, and the jazz business.
