[Trombone-l] Question

[John.McVey@frb.gov]

Yes, when I am playing my best, I hear the notes or phrase I'm getting
ready to play before I play it. That helps to center every note and make
sure they're in tune and sound full and fat. If I'm tired or sick, then
sometimes I just hope what's coming out is what I'm looking for.  In the
band I play in most regularly, I play bass trombone most of the time, but
when the lead player takes a night off, I usually move up to lead and
another bass comes in. I have found that the ability to hear the notes
before I play them, particularly in the higher range, since I don't play
there that often, is critical to my having a good night or a bad one.

         Yep, you bet!

         But just now I'm confused trying to figure out if I hear
George Roberts or Tommy Dorsey -- I guess the determining factor is
what tune and instrument I'm thinking.
