Almost one and a half hours in, going strong…

On my way to a 4 hour #bigband rehearsal with #ostalbjazzorchestra and #axelschlosser in preparation for our concert in Ellwangen in June. Still tired from last night’s #blues gig in #tuebingen – but really looking forward to seeing Axel again after ~10 years.

Pre soundcheck pic from last night. Tonight we‘re playing with the Porsche Big Band at the Forum (Peutinger-Gymnasium) in Ellwangen. Entry at 5:30pm, Porsche Big Band will start off at 6pm, play one hour, a short break to switch bands on stage, then we‘ll play for ~1 hour. Should be fun! 🤩 #Ellwangen #music #OstalbJazzOrchestra #Live #jazz

In our concert this November, we‘ll be playing WONDERWALL in the outrageously great Paul Anka version.

I like listening to it, but being lead trumpet is as exhausting as it‘s fun to play this piece with a live big band. #OstalbJazzOrchestra #concert #Ellwangen #Swing

Some impressions from our big band gig tonight… Full house, perfect mood, condition held up to the task (playing lead trumpet is annoyingly exhausting). Time to call it a day! #music #OstalbJazzOrchestra #jazz #Ellwangen

This was one of the headache generating songs from yesterday’s big band gig: Georgia… It’s rather slow, so I have to keep the pressure on for quite some time (e.g. bars 26-28 or bars 51-52)… Very cool music, but exhausting… #trumpet #bigband #OstalbJazzOrchestra #concert #music
