[Dixielandjazz] could use some professional help

[Robert Smith]

Dear Berl,

I had the same problems trying to improvise on the trombone. However I 
switched to a treble recorder and soon became quite fluent at improvising.
The reason, I think, is because the recorder is much, much quieter than the 
trombone, so that I could hear the tune to which I was trying to improvise, 
and the chords.
I found that listening to the Bunk Johnson records was a great help at the 
start, but soon it didn't matter who was playing, I could improvise fluently 
providing the tune was in the key of D, G, C, F, Bb, Eb, or Ab. The other 
keys were no more difficult to think out the improvisation, but my skill on 
the recorder wasn't adequate to play what I could hear in my head.
This has now given me a modest improvising capability on the trombone.

Regards

Bob Smith
