Great clips. Navarro was definitely one of the all time greats. Except for Dizzy’s high chops, probably an even better trumpet player from an instrumentalist point of view. Dizzy’s equal, but ultimately not, as far as overall influence (died too y...

Re “Giant Steps” and for anyone interested in understanding not only the tune itself, but why the tune is a milestone in Jazz.  Interesting stuff and highly recommended, but only geeks need apply 😊:https://www.vox.com/videos/2018/12/4/18125993/joh... 
Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer?
Oh, yeah? Jazz saxophone great Eddie Harris beat you to it 😊. He would sometimes play his creation the reed trumpet; trumpet with saxophone mouthpiece.https://youtu.be/NMmjh4qkEZYHow about the slide saxophone (and more):https://youtu.be/p-b6I1ihh2s
