Interestingly, I don't think I can recall Stamp students saying much about playing mechanics (other than how to hold the mouthpiecce when mouthpiece buzzing). I think the idea is to keep the sound model in mind -- when your playing matches that, you're in a good playing setup. The stories I've heard suggest that Stamp was meticulous about sound.
Disclaimer: I didn't study with Stamp -- those who did should by all means correct me if I'm wrong about this.

| Irving Bush was one of Stamp's most accomplished students...I took one lessson with Stamp..that one lesson really changed my life as a trumpet player...months later I attended a private rehearsal in a back yard somewhere in the San Fernando Valley with Ollie Mitchell..they were playing some type of experimental music.there were 8-10 players in this group, all playing wind instruments...there were 2 tumpet players..Ollie, of course, and this other guy....the other guy was playing the first part and he had the most resonant, clear tone I had ever heard....I asked Ollie who this guy was and it was Irving Bush. Ollie said, " he doesn't swing" ....I started to ask around about Irving Bush, and I found out he was teaching the Stamp Method...I contacted him and Started taking lessons...I also found out he was the first chair trumpet with the Los Angeles Philharmonic..at that time Irving was already a living legeng among trumpet players in the L.A. area...one of Irving's philosophies was to use 2 mouthpieces...he played Purviance mouthpieces..he used a deep cup for his legit work, and a shallow cup for all other work... the rim, bore etc. of these 2 mothpieces were identical...he played Benge trumpets...he was a very humble and kind person..believe this or not, he frequently would go on gigs and take his C TRUMPET!....he would sight read and SIGHT TRANSPOSE the music!..there are other stories about this legend that are truly unbelieveable...I consider myself to be very BLESSED that I was able to study with him.....bobby b |
