Look out for Ruby Braff. Not so well know but worth listening to. The man had a lot of soul. I will listen to your recommendations and come back to you.

My says Ruby Braff is a good trumpeter. The guitarist Howard Alden on this is brilliant too.

Ruby Braff

Teddy, thanx for your recommendation of Ruby Braff; until now I never heard his name. Is he still alive and playing? Is he American or European? What groups and time period did he play in? I guess I'll wiki him and then see if I can obtain some of his cds on Amazon.com. Have you heard any of the American trumpeter's Lee Morgan's work with the Jazz Messengers and as a leader of his own groups? I think you'd really enjoy them. Anyway, goodbye for now and thanks again for your Ruby Braff tip: I'll let you know what I think if I am able to get hold of some of his work thru Amazon.:grin:

In my opinion his best pairing was with jack Teagarden ( but then I am biased). Try T for Trombone. I don't think that you will be disappointed. Meanwhile I will listen out for Lee Morgan. Thanks

teddy, you are right, some of braffs best work is on the T for trombone -jack teagarden album.this lp was originally called, accent on trombone, it was on the urania label in the usa. i think it is reissued on cd by fresh sound. gord

I recommend the following cornet/trumpet players who I first discovered through Spotify

Warren Vache and Randy Sandke

 

[JHC]

Hakan Hardenberger is the best that I have ever heard a virtuoso of the highest order, not jazz but one of the greatest technicians of the day

Favorite Trumpeters

I would definitely throw into the mix the American trumpeters Clifford Brown and Freddie Hubbard:trp::clap:

I'd like to add to this ever growing list the names of Dizzy Gillespie and Nat Adderly, even though some "purists" might well argue that what they both played should not really be considered a "real" trumpet, but some combination thereof. Not being a musician or "purist" myself, I only know that they were great horn players.:trp: After all, "a rose by any other name" etc., etc.
