Dave Valentin question   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #12 of 37 |
Hello,
I'm a big fan of Dave Valentin, and I'd like to know if anyone knows
what he uses to hit those high notes? Is he using a headjoint with a
smaller embouchure? Or is it mostly technique?
I want to be able to play latin jazz and I want to know what it I'm
going to need - some new technique and/or a new headjoint.
I've taken less than one year's lessons - not taking any now. So I am
mostly trying to take what I've learned and "move up a notch".
My intrument is an Emerson 6B, open hole, low B foot.


Complements to ZigNoda. Excellent sound and technique.
I'll have to get your cd.
Anyway I can purchase a cd autographed?
Thanks!

And thanks to any help I can get!
