Available for teaching, clinics etc. To: trombone-l@samford.edu Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Hi all... The Giants of Latin Jazz will be at Yoshi's Thursday, April 3rd through Sunday, April 6th. Worth hearing. We are only bringing 2 of the 4 regular trombones (Money money money money...), so anyone who wants to sit in and read a part...provided you have some experience in playing real NY-style latin music, [i]por favor[/i]...I'm sure I can get you and a guest in free. Maybe even a meal. Experiencing this rhythm section is worth paying for. Bet on it. (I might be able to get people in anyway; the guest policy is not clear yet.) Whatever...we fly in that Thursday and leave on Monday, so my days will be free if anyone wants to put together some kind of masterclass or take a lesson. For that matter, I could come a day or so earlier and/or leave later if something appeared within rational travel distance. Anywhere on the West Coast, I guess, if the airfare to and from S.F is available. Email me if anyone has any ideas. () Later...

Available for teaching, clinics etc.) To: trombone-l@samford.edu Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" So...it looks like I may be putting together a little teaching/work tour off of this booking in San Francisco.(See below if you missed the original post.) I have relatives and friends in San Francisco, LA and Seattle, so I can work relatively inexpensively. All I need is local-ish transportation plus a reasonable profit. So far I have nothing booked that I cannot turn down for about a week on either side of this gig, and a round trip NY-SF ticket that I am sure can be customized (It's not even bought yet.) plus LOTS of available frequent flyer miles. What say y'all? Any ideas? It's a big country; I will be flying over the whole damned thing, and there's more than a month to get stuff together. West Coast? Midwest? South? Southwest? Wherever, if I can hook it up. The clinics Dave Taylor and I did off of the Mingus Epitaph tour last May worked out really well for everybody...we could work for a reasonable price and still make a little side bread...and my drive-by clinic/lesson thing is getting very efficient. Plus a couple of nights in a club somewhere w/a good rhythm section might be tempting, too. Jimmy Knepper once told me this little story. (Jim lived in a very inaccessible corner of Staten Island, at least an hour and a half's complicated travel outside of Manhattan.) "You know, people come all the way out to my house to study trombone with me, and I spend two or three hours telling them everything I know. In the next couple of weeks or months they usually come back again, and I basically tell them the same things all over again." "Some come back two, three, four, five times, but...eventually almost all of them just stop coming back." (Sigh, pregnant pause...) "However...I'm getting it down to about twenty minutes now..." Yup. I don't have it down to twenty minutes yet...but 1+1/2 to 2 hours? Yup. If you're smart. In that time I can lay out my whole thing, just about. Email me if you have any practical ideas. () Later...

(Too many ways of identifying pitches to be sure.) I can do that gliss using the second valve on my bass (6th to 1st) or both valve (7th to 1st, funkier tone). Without the valves I'd have to fake a gliss sound since I don't think I can lip down an entire whole step.
