You are here / When I practice the snaps, I use a lot of ir from one note to the other. This is great up to high C, but when I want to go beyond everything collapses. What is wrong?

Experience taught me that you don't move the air as much as you compress the air.The snaps are basically about lip movement and not about air.Focus on lip flex more than on air movement. Chances are that you are overblowing and that you blow your lips apart. This is counterproductive.

Trio Bert Lochs feat. Lydia van Dam

Nice live video's from a concert in Boxmeer. Filmed and edited by Juul Thielen, sound engineer: Guido Nieuwdorp, mix: Bert Lochs

Van Laar

Bert Lochs plays a Van Laar B8 trumpet and a van Laar B2 flugel. A customized Curry 10.5C trumpet mouthpiece and a self designed piece on his flugelhorn. Both pieces share a sixties (Ratzenberger) Jettone rim.

Reviews

The combination is a blessed one. A fine rhythm section and the leaders share a consentaneous view on their music in which melancholy and optimism fight a battle for priority.
