    Have you heard anyone playing like Dave Steinmeyer lately??? ...jazz ballads, buttery smooth way up high?
    Nope! Since 1988 when I played a joint concert with the Airmen of note and shared this stage with Dave that night, and having heard Bill Watrous play when I moved to Cali in the mid 2000's, NOBODY has come close to the perfection that is...DAVE STEINMEYER!

    The amount of alternate slide positions he used was incredible. Also was quite possibly the smoothest High B and Bb I've ever heard.

      I think he was going to 4th for the F so he could use slide vibrato. Make the notes sing more. That’s just my guess

      I use alternate slide positions all the time. The freshman sitting next to me in our community band was totally stumped at what I was doing. I explained alternate positions and gave her a chart. I told her I don't get paid mileage. She's now in university and texted me recently thanking me for a lot of tips and music I'd passed on. She ended with "I don't get paid mileage 😁!"

      I was wondering why he was using Bb in 5th along with D and F in 4th, then the music changed keys from Bb to B natural, and I instantly understood. It was to keep both sections stylistically the same (overtone series to boot!).

      @@elmerwilliamson1970 they’re two different types of players man. No need to down play one. MG is a cat, like he actually plays standards and stuff. I haven’t really heard Dave so much in terms of bop or swing, aside from his stuff with airmen of note, but that doesn’t downplay his musicianship.

    He's so chill while going up there to that double B and hanging out on it. I remember Wycliffe Gordon doing a workshop and telling a story of how he started playing with a big band where Dave was playing lead. Wycliffe said that once the gig was over, Dave would sit there and play in that extreme high range for a while (possibly at a softer volume, but I don't completely recall). When Wycliffe asked Dave why he was doing that after the gig was over, Dave said something about the importance of being able to play in this range at any point during the day, even after a gig (when one's chops could be presumably gone). In addition to playing in the upper register regularly, another thing I got from this anecdote was being so efficient "upstairs," that those notes should be accessible at any time of the day, despite the circumstances. Maybe this is related to working on endurance and/or never playing to the point of being chopped out?

    I have played with him many, many times. This isn't even close to what he can do. His mom plays the violin. He played a duet with her, and he was right up there with her the whole chart. A little secret is that after he went head over heals off his bike, he chipped his front teeth right in the middle. With a little work he had the perfect air flow for the extreme high register. That's why it looks so effortless. He also taught himself to play. Amazing guy to know, too.

    I’m so very grateful for my upperclassmen telling me about Dave steinmeyer two years ago. He became and still is my favorite trombone player of all time. From the first ever track I heard of him. From the effortless high range to his buttery playing. Dave is one of the few trombonists (I’ve heard) that can make a trombone sing like he does. He is my idol. I hope one day I can get somewhat close to his level. Wish I was born earlier to hear him play in person. Truly a legend in the world of jazz trombonists

  • @davidtatro7457
    @davidtatro7457 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Steinmeyer is a wonderful player and definitely rigbt up there in the ranks of high range specialists. It's also worth noting for any younger players who might see this that many of the best and most influential trombonists of the past century have never played anywhere near this high.
