James Morrison - Trumpet/Trombone


James Morrison is an Australian jazz musician who plays numerous instruments, but is best known for his trumpet playing. He is a multi-instrumentalist, having performed on the clarinet, soprano sax, alto sax, tenor sax, bari sax, flugelhorn, trombone, euphonium, tuba, and piano.  He is also a composer, writing jazz charts for ensembles of various sizes and proficiency levels.
The video is a clip from a demonstration where he talks about digital music.  His demonstration leads to a performance where he solos using both the trombone and trumpet while being backed up by his computer software.  Check out the beginning where he uses multiphonics to create a unique effect while playing a walking bass line.
