Q: I am in high school, I play in jazz band, marching, concert, and pep band. I want to know what trumpet YOU think is the best for $0 - $2,300.

At my HS, the Xeno is the by far top option.

A: The yamaha trumpets are great for all around. If you want mainly concert and marching...probably a bach strat trumpet.

The best by far...is probably a schilke trumpet. They are about 2,450. There are different models. B1-B7. You have to go find which one is the best for you. Find which ever one slots the best for you. Most of my friends play on a B2. One of them plays on a B3. And one plays on a B6. I would go for a schilke. Most of my friends play them. And most of them use is for lead trumpet playing, marching, and concert stuff. Oh, and pep band.

    You should ask your band teacher, he probably has a trumpet, and if he is a trumpet player by choice he would have a trumpet that costs $1,000+. My old high school band teacher (I just moved) had one that costs over $4,000. There are a lot of different trumpets that you can choose from, if you want to find a good one I'd advise you to go to a few different music stores in order to give you the best choice, and the best instrument for your buck.

'70s return -with horns Columbus Dispatch

Jan 22, 2010

"I'm a child of the 1970s," Byron Stripling said at the outset of the Jazz Arts Group's "Spinning Wheel" concert Friday night in the Southern Theatre. "If you don't like the '70s, leave."

No one did at this fun and well-attended show, which had the Columbus Jazz Orchestra playing the music of Chicago (the band, not the city), Blood, Sweat & Tears and other early 1970s pop-rock tunes that featured a horn section or lent themselves well to big band arrangements.

The CJO's three special guests -- "Blue" Lou Marini, Lew Soloff and Bruce Wermuth -- each played prominent roles in the concert.

Saxophonist Marini, whose credits include the Saturday Night Live and Blues Brothers bands, and trumpeter Soloff, a member of BS&T from 1968-73, played together frequently. Marini, 64, whose trademark long hair and mustache are now gray, sounded great on tenor and the kid-sized sopranino sax. After a sputtering start, Soloff, 65, seemed to sound better with each solo. He was amusing to watch, whether trying to decide which of his three trumpets he was going to play next, dropping his plunger mute to the floor, or producing music by tapping his hand against the trumpet's mouthpiece.
