  • JLTP 050: How To Improvise On “Pink Panther”.
    In this episode of The Jeff Lewis Trumpet Podcast, I go over how to improvise on the Henry Mancini classic “Pink Panther”. This is the solo section only.  It can be found in the second trumpet part in the Big Band composition and arrangement by Henry Mancini.  Be sure to stick around to the end, grab your horn, and let’s trade 2 and 4-measure phrases.
