[Dixielandjazz] Fw: [TPIN] RE: THE MELODIC TRUMPET

[Bob Romans]

Hi DJML'ers!
There is a long, lengthy discussion now on the TPIN over melody in our
lives...the trumpeters on the TPIN are 99% modern from the clips I've heard
of their playing...and believe it or not, they're actually talking about
MELODY!! Example below!
