When Did We Begin To Lose Faith

And My Identity...i Never Really Wondered About It Because, Unfortunately, I Sounded Like Myself. People Be Saying I Sound Like Miles Or Clifford Brown.

Because The Blues Is The Basis Of Most American Music In The 20th Century. It's A 12-bar Form That's Played By Jazz, Bluegrass And Country Musicians. It Has A Rhythmic Vocabulary That's Been Used By Rock N' Roll. It's Related To Spirituals, And Even The American Fiddle Tradition.

I Feel Like A Lot Of The Fundamental Material, I've Assimilated. So Now The Question Is: Am I Going To Really Get Into My Spiritual Inheritance Of Music And Really Develop My Abilities?

What I Really Have In My Head, My Imagination, My Understanding Of Music, I Never Really Get That Out.

I Got My First Trumpet When I Was Six Years Old, From Al Hirt. My Father Was Playing In Al Hirt's Band At That Time.
