Louis Armstrong said Bunny Berigan cant do no wrong in music, and Berigans skills were often compared favorably to Satchmos. Benny Goodman described his solos as, a bolt of electricity running through the whole band . . . he just lifted the whole thing.

I read your post and my first thought was, "OK, this is going to be another audiophile recording of a mediocre musician." I was wrong, the samples were amazing. This guy is great, I don't think anyone can hold the title of "best" trumpet player but he is wonderful. I wish this was available on LP but that being said I may have to download the album. well what do you think, anybody out there with such a variety of tone and colour?

One of the best alive today IMHO is a local hero (Pittsburgh) named Sean Jones. He tours around world with all the greats. Check out his albums on Spotify . I saw him play a short set at a small club , after playing that evening with The Pittsburgh Symphony. I must say I was blown away with his superb tone and improve skills. I recall stating to my wife, that might be the greatest musician I have ever seen. I hope you guys check him out. Let me know what you think. Todd |
He's certainly a good trumpet player, but do you really like that music? I'm not saying it's bad - except it is. New-Age noodling at it's best. I really don't mean to be negative. If you like the music, that's all that counts. It does have sort of a meditative quality to it, so anything that helps one relax is OK in my book. |
