Hey Mx.
I felt like we needed a trumpet thread, and as I am a trumpet player myself I would like to open a little compendium for all of us trumpet players.
One thing I'd like to do is (obviously) list and discuss the great trumpeters of jazz. Another thing would be to discuss technique, application of theory, personal models, etc. for fun and for reference.
I hope this goes well.
EDIT:
List of Players (open for future editing)
Miles Davis (duh)
Dizzy Gillespie
Lee Morgan (

Arturo Sandoval
Louis Armstrong
Clifford Brown
Wynton Marsalis
Maynard Ferguson (at least for technical value; I'm not a huge fan)
Chet Baker
Roy Eldridge
Bix Biederbecke
Al Hirt
Kenny Dorham
