The clue is in the title and the link...


Talking of Bop.........

From Ed (Pete) Peterson at Omega Studios in DC area.
"Pete went to the Manhattan School of Music in the early 1960s

and studied trumpet with William Vacchiano. Vacchiano was big on

teaching trumpet students to transpose various parts for variously

pitched trumpet parts. Apparently Miles Davis (the famous jazz

trumpeter) studied briefly with Vacchiano in the 1950's. One lesson,

Vacchiano was teaching Miles and asked, "If the piano is in the key of

E, where does that put the trumpet?" Miles replied, "Back in the

fu*king case!"

Bopland? I thought it was a Ramones site.

Cool anecdote though - I liked that.

Great site.

So many ways you can use this - reading practice that's fun, increasing your vocabulary, analyse the licks for better understanding.....the list goes on!
