The Swinging Shepherd Blues Trumpet

'Swinging Shepherd Blues.' Tune by Moe Koffman, written as 'Blues a la Canadiana' and renamed 'Swinging (or 'Swingin') Shepherd Blues' in l957 when it was recorded by the composer, playing the flute, for the LP Hot and Cool Sax. Producer Morty Palitz suggested the name change. Released as a single (Jubilee 5311), it was a hit internationally (Billboard magazine recorded it as peaking at 23rd position in 1958) and also was popular as copied (ie, played virtually in its original form) by the US bassist Johnnie Pate (Federal l23l2).

*Can you name us trumpet and mouthpiece model?*

[@LessLethal]

Always the first thing they ask for on youtube videos of talented musicians... "Gear rundown". I have the exact same Buescher that Chet Baker played on and guess what? I damn sure don't sound like Chet Baker. You could hand this guy a Chinese import and with a blindfold on, you'd think he was playing something costing a lot more because he's a talented player. Gear is such a small part of it.
