This is a piece I recorded with my quartet about a year ago, I hope you all enjoy! The piece is entitled Billies Bounce and was written by Charlie Parker.

This is something I'm interested and have always wanted to do. I think electrifying the trumpet and using effects is super super cool and I've always wanted to experiment with this aspect of the horn. I'm going to post two links, one is an example of an electrified trumpet and the other is a recording of Miles Davis's electric ensemble where he uses his trumpet with a violin pickup.

  1. Nice! I saw a trumpeter with a pedal board for the first time this past fall (not playing classic rock though) and it was definitely a first for me. I also like the idea of pushing the boundaries of acoustic instruments with electric effects.
