[Trombone-l] quick! what's a "jazz mute" ?

[Ray Horton]

Right - I even have a bucket on a stand I made - works nicely, sounds 
nice - made it from a primer bucket, put a towel in the bottom, punched 
a hole in it mounted on a trb stand. 


But that probably wouldn't help for a two beat change from "jazz mute" 
to harmon.  It's a possibilty, though.
