Guest Bill Barton Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 The recording is on The Great Pretender (ECM). Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Posted October 12, 2007 was that album successful commercially, and that whole brass fantasy project? Quote
PHILLYQ Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 was that album successful commercially, and that whole brass fantasy project? It was either on ECM or DIW, so it probably didn't sell very much. The music was really good, and I got to see Brass Fantasy once and they were excellent! Quote
JSngry Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 It was on ECM, and I think it probably sold better than a lot of LEster's other things because of that. A lot of people I was around at the time got hip to Lester & the AEC through their ECM sides. That label had a lot of "cachet" with a lot of people at the time. Quote

sidewinder Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) The topic header had me imagining trumpeters rubbing something that looked like Carmex on their lips. and there's me thinking it was something to do with this.. That London horn looks pretty neat. Edited October 13, 2007 by sidewinder Quote
Guest Bill Barton Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) yes, there is such a thing as an ear trumpet player I wasn't there at FIMAV so I can't vouch for the embouchure (?) required. I'll bet it would make an interesting duet with a nose flute though... Edited October 13, 2007 by Bill Barton Quote
