Here's another nice jazz standard, "Lullaby of Birdland" (music by George Shearing and lyrics by George David Weiss). Such a cool chord progression that I thought I'd run the melody and work on my jazz improv today. Here's the result. I hope you enjoy!

Here is a run through of the first half of a song Im working on. Its a transcription of a song recorded by Dutch teen singer, Heintje, in 1971. Its called, Abend Wird Es Im Tal I need to have someone translate that, but I think its something about the valley in the evening. I think its a great song and sounds great on the trumpet. Heres the original, if youre interested: http://youtu.be/gzaoWxtLeTg
I know I have several works in progress up right now. Im actually working on four projects at the same time! I think this one will be finished first, so when that happens, Ill post it and remove this one. I just wanted to put something new up, so here it is. Enjoy! Dave
Tech stuff: my normal equipment used to record all the other videos and Im playing my Kanstul CHI1000 Chicago trumpet (copy of Chicago Benge 3X, ML) with Laskey 65MC mouthpiece.")
