Amen to that.

Unfortunately, when you talk about the bass line to sax and trumpet players, some "get it" and most don't.

This thread's got me pretty nostalgic about the high school days (don't know why) but I was lucky enough to start playing for a band director (named Brian Johnston) who "got it" when it came to the importance of the Tuba and playing it well.

I was also lucky enough to attend a series of summer music camps where Bobby Harriott (my spelling tonight, I don't know) - now there's a trumpet player who understood the BBb Bass (as it was referred to in that band).
