Something to Read
This book Louis Armstrong is part of a series famous historical figures. It's appropriate for a 10 year old, but we found it an enjoyable read and refresher on the life of Pops.
Something to Listen to
This is a entry from Brandon Ridenour that deserves a place in every Trumpeter's library. Ridenour has some great arrangements for Trumpet and Piano that are masterfully executed.
Something for your Horn
This bag, from Gard, is a great way to haul your gear. It comes with an ample padded interior and room for 3 horns. There's also plenty of pocket space for mouthpieces and other accessories.
Something to listen with
This shockingly affordable gadget is like magic. This is a Bluetooth receiver that will play music wirelessly from your phone or other device. The key is the output. The device will output to RCA cables. This is a great way to get the benefits of wireless combined with some older speakers you probably already have.
Something for the Practice Room
This stand is great for putting your horn down while you mark up etude with 9 flats that has been vexing you so much. It has five legs and is solid as can be.
Something to Watch
Don Cheadle's take on Miles Davis came out this year. The film proved to be a highly faithful to this period in Davis' life. It's rated R though, so be forwarned.
Something to Play
This arrangement of hymns from James Curnow is a must for your gig bag. These arrangements for solo Trumpet and Piano are accessible and appropriate for many settings. Also, there's a great recording from Philip Smith included.
We wish you all the best with your Christmas shopping.
