This hour-long video begins with a visual comparison of lip flexibility, tonguing, and trumpet embouchures of the premiere San Francisco Bay Area performers of 2006; then trumpeter Dave Len Scott interviews premiere Bay Area trumpeters about their embouchures and changes in their embouchures over the course of their professional careers!

Personally, this video is also a celebration the bond of friendship of professional players, of the diverse and dynamic culture of jazz and the "gig life", and an appreciation of what all of us professional trumpet players have had to go through to achieve our individual greatness as performers, classical and/or jazz!

Videotaped April 23-29, 2006.
