Jul 13, 2008 - Actually, in terms of trumpet, the way the instrument is held can have an impact on the embouchure technique, or is often a result of the technique a player uses. By no means is Freddie the only player to hold his horn this way.

Jul 23, 2008 - Well if you know a jazz musician, you know they can kind of be a pain when it comes to criticizing music. "Dammit man! Ever heard of tension? Puh-lease!"

Feb 3, 2009 - what does a high F# have to do with chop destruction? anything up to G is makeable in most cases without doing yourself in. if you've followed freddie at all, you know the 'real' reason why his chops went out.......

jwalkam Says:

Feb 19, 2009 - what really happened to freddie bro?

SubOctavian Says:

Feb 20, 2009 - the trumpet pointing up is aptly called "upstream". it's a preference for those that like to rest the bottom of the mouthpiece against their lower teeth but at the same time applying some pressure on the top teeth. the pressure locks notes in place, but limits flexibility. it has nothing to do with the mic, which can easily be moved to the player's specs if necessary ..

murrayrothstein Says:

Mar 2, 2009 - Actually his chops got messed up because he was taking cocaine and not warming up properly before playing. He admitted as much himself. He looks and plays real sharp in this video, though. His playing remained inspired and inspiring through the early 90s.

May 8, 2009 - tony reedus still is alive

eatsleeptrumpet Says:

May 8, 2009 - Sorry to inform you, qiitxx... Tony came off a flight from Italy and had a heart attack at JFK last year. He was dead before he got to the hospital. Sad to see him go so early, aged 49.

Jun 6, 2009 - Totally agree with you here. This was the supposed time Freddie's chops were starting to give out, but the funny thing is I think he sounds better here (and other performances he did that year) than he did even two years prior. Watch performances from 1987 (like the video on youtube of Hubtones with James Spaulding and Renee Rosnes) and you'll see what I mean. There are other videos which show this as well.
