  • He is the most awesome musician ever, but may lack detail in teaching
James Morrison is one of the most awesome musicians in our world today, and possibly the best brass player alive right now and his tips he gives us in this lesson DVD are most valuable only because he is who he is. They seem to lack detail on important items such as embouchure, air pressure and tonging. I found several of the units on Youtube first and then ordered this DVD mostly because he plays so amazingly and I wanted to show support for him. If it is playing in the upper register or getting all the basics correct on your horn that you are after than you would be better off streaming YouTube video of Roy Roman and Charlie Parker... they cover all the basics in their videos and go into great detail. ... show more

  • Dont purchase!
I was curious to know what Morrison had to say about his method but he doesn't truly get into it much. Find a good trumpet player or players in your area and pick their brain. You'll get more from them than this DVD!!!

  • Geared more for the younger player, Jr High. or High school.
James Morrison is the premier multi instrumentalist jazz musician of the world today. He also ranks as one of todays top jazz trumpet players and is in great demand around the world. The message James delivers was done pretty well, despite the fact that very little time is actually done playing the horn. There is some playing during his description of jazz technique such as "shakes", "falls", "doits", and so forth, but the bulk of the DVD is a spoken lecture divided into chapters. Chapters include breathing, sound, range, endurance, articulation (great teaching example done on this chapter with James playing), projection, warm ups, tuning, equipment and circular breathing. It seems James did most of the lectures in one take (that was a formidable task as the instruction is detailed and fairly complex) and he does fully explain his approach to the horn. I was disappointed that some playing examples were not utilized in each of the individual chapters, but his message is very upbeat and fun. A bonus feature is James in Japan. This is a tour of the Yamaha factory in Japan and shows the various stages of manufacture of various wind instruments. This section will appeal to a lot of people. The end of this section has James playing about 8 different instruments with overdubbing and video. This is a swinging composition (short and sweet) that likely he wrote. Best to buy this one used for your library(if possible) but you should have a copy. You will need a DVD player that plays PAL to watch this one. ... show more

  • Great
James Morrison is an awesome musician (trumpet, bone, saxes, etc) but has a way with words that explains in a clear way how to play the trumpet efficiently.

  • I love this guy!
I love this guy. He's charming and personable and can play like nobody else. That being said I feel like I wasted my money. He yammers on and on and I kept thinking "Get on with it". Hell I was yelling at the TV. Really, he's such a nice person and such a great horn player but he really doesn't say anything. What he says is ok but the pickings are slim. His explanation of the lips and muscles is dead on (though he doesn't refer to the neck muscles at all. Maybe he hasn't learned about them yet). All the talk about high notes really is pointless. I personally don't care a whit about high notes. If you practice regularly then eventually over time you'll be able to hit high notes. That's a given. I don't like all the screeching and feel that if you want to hit high notes you should buy a dog whistle. There's no talk about expression and lyricism though he does mention emotion. I think his talk about thinking about what you're going to play before you play it is wrong. Absolutely wrong. If you want to be a soloist then it has to be automatic with as little interuption from the intellect as possible. But then he's the pro and I'm writing crap on Amazon. There are many basic dynamics of learning and patterning that are common to sports and to playing music that he doesn't even come close to mentioning but those are secrets that he might not know and since I'm not getting paid I'm not going to share them. Seriously: James I love you but you owe me $15 or whatever it was. ... show more
