Hey

I'm just getting ready for work so I don't have too much time to respond right now, but Frankieve has made an interesting point.

Everyone remember the great success of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass? Herb was not a very good trumpet player. When they recorded he played both parts so that the phrasing and vibrato etc was perfect. But, when they played live, knowing his limitiations, it was the "2nd" trumpet player who played lead and Herb played the harmony all night long.

I am a trumpet player and studied with one of Herbs' teachers. This is verifiable.
