Growling (wind instruments)

Growling (wind instruments)

Growling is a multiphonic technique of playing wind instruments (saxophone, trumpet). Growling gives a certain emphasis to the sound and is used in rock, jazz and blues.

It is accomplished by vocalizing while playing a note.

Another technique, "growl trumpet" involves a combination of an ordinary mute and a rubber plunger mute held over the trumpet's bell, and vocalizing into the instrument.

The technique of simultaneous playing a note and singing into an instrument is also known as horn chords.

Bubber Miley is often referred to as "growl trumpeter".A "growl trombone" may be seen in a 1929 film "Black and Tan Fantasy" played by Joe "Tricky Sam" Nanton.
