    Cat Anderson made his first appearance with Duke Ellington at the Earl Theatre in Philadelphia on September 1, 1944. He liad already acquired with other wel known bands a considerable professional reputation for playing in the upper rex~ ister, but in the years that followed, his name became indeliably associated with Ellington's. The pyrotechnics of Trumpet No End, The Eighth Veil, El the bright, surface area of his contribition. The nonchalant reversal of the horn at the end of Jam With Sam as he excleims ‘That's the one!” after hitting high note , has been seen by thousands , probably even millions, of TY viewers. His ascension to high Gothic roof in Cathedrals here and abroad has been a vital part of the original Sacred Concert. “That's as high as we go," Ellington announ- ces as the peak is reached. o and El Vite were is a native of South Carolina, born to William and Eloise Anderson. lis childhood was spent in the Jenkins’ Orphan Home, and from his immediate sur roundings , “young William “Cat” Anderson took his immediate interests -- those of any young boy ~- baseball. movies, and the trombone... but his arms weren't long enough for the sixth and seventh positions and he switched to trumpet. hhe teaching at Jenkins’ was stern, “And,” Cat says, "AS I look back on the techniques we were taught now, Iknow itwas inadequate; that even the rudiments jere not taught properly. I don’t remember them teaching about breathing or correct emhouchure, hut the school was run on chazity and the te small, so there was a limit to what could be expected." Cat has travelled to Europe and the Far East at least once, sometimes twice year since 1958 and has played before Queen Elizabeth, King Hussin of Jordan, Princess Grace of Monaco, and two US Presidents: Kennedy and Johnson. Cat is a far more versatile musician than is perhaps generally recognized. Af- ter tyenty-seven years of working with the Duke, he submitted his resignation and decided to try his luck with the studio hands in Tos Angeles, as this would be ‘a new challenge for him. In only a couple of months Cat had done such stows as Ironside, Laugh In, Longstreet, Mission Impossible, Julie Andrews Show and some gigantic specials, He 1s also a composer, and wrote such tunes as El Gato, Blue Jean the Beguine, How About That Mess, Sugar Loaf and many more.

Well, I think the note G is the easiest note to play on the trumpet , and it's in the middle range of the horn, You must play the note "G" VERY SOFTLY (as in a whisper) from the beginning of each study. This will help you build the muscles around your embouchure. Always practice softly - not loudly, Practicing loudly is annoying, so practice softly and build your embouchure muscles. This is the sceret of playing high notes, in my opinion. In playing the trumpet, I think you should treat it like a woman - GENTLY! If you abuse it, you'll never make it, and that's no good. So he patient, work hard, and you will have success, There are no short cuts to playing in the upper register. You must study to play up there. It's up te you - you must have confidence that you can play in the upper register with authority. With this book you can master it, So stay with it. IT IS NECCESSARY to play warm-up exercises prior to playing pract BE PERSISTANT! ¢ material, It's important for the best results, so Do not give up demands you have made on yourself, If you doy you will never receive full benefits.
