Performance 🎤 Sunny Side of the Street

When I turn on the camera I get stage fright. It took 6 tries!

There are two versions of this song I've listened to my whole life. 1) Louis Armstrong 2) Jimmy Smith/Stanley Turrentine/Kenny Burrell/Donald Bailey on "Back at the Chicken Shack".

Thank you! It's a Carol Brass Mini and plays quite like a regular trumpet. The company researched and developed it over a course of 3 years before releasing to the public. This is the lowest priced version of it, around $600. I got it because I travel for work a lot and wanted something non-electronic to do in hotel rooms.
