Louis Armstrong had a bad embouchure, and it cost him over the years. He had constant bleeding problems, and once had surgery to try to deal with the resulting sore. But because he refused to take time out of his career to learn proper technique he suffered for years. <br /><br />Something I learned years ago - you ask the question 'is he able to do it BECAUSE of 'x,' or IN SPITE OF 'x.'

From what I understand, Ziggy's chops had caved in by the time that movie was filmed. He could no longer play the solo he had made famous.

There's a classic "look" for a trumpet player and most of us don't want to look too weird as we play.<br /><br />I notice that well-known people who play off to one side or the other keep their horns pointed pretty much straight ahead. I wonder how that's possible. One's mouth naturally curves back, following the line of the teeth. This would mean the horn should logically be pointed off to one side or another. Such-to the aesthetic detriment of my audience-is the case with me.Steve Provizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757505876939504133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959286621592188397.post-57232582173603833742012-01-03T14:04:58.774-05:002012-01-03T14:04:58.774-05:00I was pretty successful with a "wrong" e...I was pretty successful with a "wrong" embrouchure through high school, then got too clever in college and "fixed" it, which led to 10+ yrs of wandering in the chops wilderness. A few years ago I decided to try switching back to the wrong way, and chops have been good ever since. I think the main factor missed by just looking at chops from the outside is where a player's teeth are--in my case, my front teeth are off-center, so it makes sense for the mouthpiece to sit off-center too.Ian Careyhttp://iancareyjazz.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959286621592188397.post-45867415427894937212012-01-03T12:12:18.719-05:002012-01-03T12:12:18.719-05:00Hey Brew-Happy and Swinging New Year to you too-Lo...Hey Brew-Happy and Swinging New Year to you too-Loved the pictures-thanks!
