Exploring Louis Armstrong's Influence
So this section, and this, then the structure of this piece, the key change happens.
The Flavor of Louis Armstrong
When I played this, I felt a flavor of my thoughts went back to Louis Armstrong and the kind of declamatory New Orleans style in which he plays.
A Recommendation
Maybe you can take a listen to Louis Armstrong, a fantastic trumpet player who spanned many generations and, for me, he is the kind of father of jazz trumpet playing.
Particularly have a listen to "When You're Smiling," in which he sings as well. You can actually hear his trumpet playing in his singing.
Applying His Style
Let's try and apply that style to this section of the music I'm going to demonstrate now.
Have a listen to the way in which I attack the notes:
- It's quite a hard attack.
- It's very, very declamatory.
- It's very, very emphatic.
Did you hear the Louis Armstrong style?
- The hard attacks.
- The kind of way that I stepped on each note?
- It was like we were doing a march.
