Sunday Jam  

I'm glad you got that feel. I used to go to a blues club on a Sunday night and doing this took me right back. I've done more than you're seeing here, so I'll build on this for next week.

Thanks Arthur and thans for your engagement.

Usually this would sound much better. My favourite mic for brass (you can see it) is designed for clipping to the bell. The only trouble is that you get mechanical noise when you use the valves, so I clip it to something (eg music stand) and then get in really close. Usually I'd get the placement and distance just right and then sit solid as a rock and do take after take and get everything spot-on, then switch on the camera and mime for the video. Because of limited time, I decided to try doing the audio and video in a single take today. You can see from the edits that I did it in about three. So it's not very polished but it is much more real than usual!

Thank you very much. You've got it right, it's very similar to a trumpet but has a lovely mellow tone.
