TrumpetBoredom said:I am trying to compile an Ultimate Trumpet Love Song CD, and I was just wondering what your favorite Herb Alpert (or any other trumpet player's) love song was?
Thanks!
DAN BOLTON said:And I just thought of another one...James Last's "GAMES THAT LOVERS PLAY"...there's a lot of strings, but the melody line is carried by a couple of trumpets...at least the first couple of verses...the strings end up taking over, but that first verse is marvelous!
Dan, thinking he'll remember still others long after he goes offline...
Rudy said:Offhand, the only recordings I can think of with an EWI are a select few Yellowjackets songs. Bob Mintzer plays mainly tenor sax, but also plays EWI, soprano, and bass clarinet. Other guys like Tom Scott tend to use it also.

Rudy said:An EWI is like an EVI...and vice versa.
OK, now I'll be serious. An EVI is played like a trumpet, with a trumpet mouthpiece and all, but the output is electronic. An EWI (electronic woodwind instrument) is the same--it is blown on and fingered like a woodwind, but again, the output is electronic. It isn't so much a sound as it is the frequency that is output, along with the "inflections" of playing a wind instrument. The output is then fed to a synthesizer, which means it can sound like just about anything. The best parallel I can think of is the synclavier, which Pat Metheny makes use of.
A lot of 80's woodwind musicians (mainly sax/flute players) used the EWI, but the EVI is quite rare. I believe they were made by Akai. (eBay sometimes has EWI's for sale...looks like a square, electronic soprano sax.)

James' "CIRIBIRIBIRIBIN"[did I get that one right?..never sure of the number of syllables...]?

I think you've got one too many "BIRI"s in there.
CIRIBIRIBIN
That's the ticket.
