*PROGRAM NOTES: PAHTAG

mph was inspired by Miles Dewey Davis and dedicated to Prof. William Butler Fielder.
miles per hour may be performed on solo B-flat or C-Trumpet; or as a duet.

When performed as a Call-and-Response duet, the Caller (C) plays on stage using a
harmon mute; the Respondant (R) plays offstage without a mute.

When performed as a solo, this Sonatina/Jazz Fanfare is played offstage through the
first ending. Measures 35 - 38 are used as a vamp that should be repeated (ad lib: i.e.,
bending notes, taking rhythmic and other liberties, et cetera) as often as needed to give
the performer ample time to reach center stage for the full repeat and second ending.

A fusion of various idioms, the fanfare beckons listeners to, "Stop what you're doing. Listen.
I have something to say about the lineage of trumpet players and how they impact trumpet
literature: from Buddy Bolden, Louis Armstrong, "Dizzy" Gillespie, Miles Davis, Lee Morgan,
Clifford Brown, Clark Terry, Freddy Hubbard, Dr. Willie Naylor, Burgess Gardner, Woody
Shaw, Lionel Bordelon, Stanley Polluck, John Faddis, Wynton Marsalis, Terrance Blanchard,
Nicolas Payton, Wallace Roney, Orbert Davis, Roy Hargrove, Tina Davis, Clora Bryant,
Cynthia Robinson, Valaida Snow, Dolly Jones, to Prof. Bill Fielder, and many more.
