Nice post. You got me thinking about immigrating to a place that has British Brass Bands. |
Though I admire the quality of playing I should for the taste in music emigrate to a place without BBB's. |

Hi Grits
Nice post.
Thanks very much.
You got me thinking about immigrating to a place that has British Brass Bands.
Could I solo without a fast vibrato?
Yes, but even if you were making otherwise a typical British Brass Band cornet sound, it would probably sound less British Brass Band like because the vibrato is not present.
I spent 18 years in a completely atypical British Brass band on Bach 184ML cornets and Bach C cups, where the band master did not like vibrato.
Four years ago I switched to a far more traditional British Brass Band and switched to a Yamaha Xeno cornet. In my opinion, I approach solos with expression and rubato, but not really a brass band vibrato. I'm only an amateur player, and play as much trumpet as cornet, and also do a lot of orchestral playing, so my cornet approach is very much that of Lou rather than of a British Brass Band cornet player. However, certain pieces that really lend themselves to a traditional British Brass Band cornet tone seem to bring out the vibrato in me. Nowadays, at least in my opinion, it is used more sparingly and on more traditional repertoire. Last night in my brass band, we were playing All That Jazz and Breezin' Down Broadway. Neither of them naturally lend themselves to this type of vibrato.
Warm regards,
Grits
Warm regards to you too.

Hi Rapier232
Yes, I totally agree.

Just watched that one with my morning cup of coffee. The effects of the caffeine have been heightened in the extreme! |
