- Abstract
- Playing lead trumpet in a big band setting is a position that demands a great deal from a musician. The needed skills go beyond the ability to play high notes and to have tremendous endurance. Both skills are required, but the job is much more than that. The lead trumpet chair requires the ability to set the time feel for the whole band and dictate the articulations, phrasing, dynamics, and other stylistic nuances. Each of these nuances is varied by the band and the era the music was written or intended to emulate. Prior knowledge of how the music developed and who the significant lead trumpet stylists are past and present is essential for playing the lead trumpet in a big band. This analysis explores the stylistic expectations for playing lead trumpet in a big band. These expectations are examined through the analysis of charts and performances of five prominent lead trumpet players. Little has been written about interpreting big band music through the lens of lead trumpet playing, and a written performance guide practice has not been documented. This study intends to establish a guide and performance practice that others may use as a guide to their stylistic development.
