I had to do a Miles Davis soundalike recording this week. Specifically I had to try and reproduce his 1980's muted sound. For these records he was using a harmon mute and I have seen some debate about which brand of mute to use.

I experimented with various mouthpieces and my Denis Wick harmon mute and found that the closest was a quite deep Warbrton 3MD with a very large no 12 backbore. Even this was still not quite like the records so I equalised the sound to bring up the bass. See what you think, but I think its pretty close to the timbre of sound Miles Davis was producing in the 1980's:

You will find the instructions for doing this in my article here:
How to Embed an mp3 file in a blog article
You still need a host to host the mp3 file.
I understand that Dropbox now has the ability to link directly to audio files for embedding. I am looking into this.
