i think it matters the music played and how played on the instrument, not the instrument itself. for instance, miles davis trumpet is not just a trumpet music, it is miles himself and his soul, like coltrain's saxophone. can you compare coltrain's or charls lloyd's saxophone with kenny g's one?
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.
