Jerry spent most of the past several weeks in the hospital struggling with the heart, lung, and kidney issues of an 87 year old. But that didn't stop him from thinking trumpet. I spoke to him yesterday and his voice was very weak. But then he spit buzzed for me. Single, double, triple - it was stronger, faster, more precise, and more dead in tune than anything I've ever heard (even from him).

Call him, have him demonstrate on the phone. His range and power are legendary. But even in a recovery bed Jerry has more range, power, precision, and dead-centered pitch than anyone before. And this is all done with absolutely no air power as well as no tongue arch, no anchor tonguing, and no squeezing of the lips together.

Give Jerry a call and listen to his spit buzz. It might be the ear opening push most of us need. Best to all, Kyle

Thanks for the update, Kyle. Jerry is a true trumpeting icon. I enjoyed meeting him at ITG in Hershey! I still enjoy my SIMA, and use a Wedge derivative of the Superchops 4. I like to let high school trumpeters play my original Superchops 4 to get a feel for a good lead piece.

I know it's been brought up time and again here... but doesn't someone this good really deserve to be recorded? The only thing I've heard Jerry play is on the Superchops DVD and it's... "average"... to be generous.

No disrespect intended - I play his technique! - but the... "marketing"... shall we say, is comical! Maybe I'm just not in on the joke

I hope his health improves and he gets released from the hospital real soon.

The VHS that Jerry made in the late 80s has some bits of his playing on it. It's very powerful and in tune. Having said that - good luck finding a copy, it took me years to get my hands on that tape...

As you quite rightly pointed out as well, that conversation has been had here many times. You're better off seeking out players who have made Jerry's teachings work.
