Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer?

It’s not the first time I’ve thought about it, but it came up again last night as I was listening to Quintessence volume 2, Stan Getz and Chet Baker recorded live. (an amazing disc) I have to say that for myself, I prefer the saxophone because it seems capable of infinite textures and subtle shadings as well as eye opening dynamic shifts. Of course I love the trumpet too; especially in the hands of a player like Chet Baker.

I'm with Charles. Trumpet.  Check out Tine Thing Helseth and Alison Balsom for diversity (gender and Classical).

Nice thread Roxy. Happen to agree with and understand all of the posts so far!
