Did you see Mr Botti playing God Bless America on the 2nd game of the world series,? IF you think He is the best trumpet player you are the must stupid person in the world.

learn to spell correctly before calling other people stupid...............

I just had the chance to hear Irwin Mayfield live with the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra. What a great horn he plays!! Very personable. Very talented. His father is still missing from hurricane. Check out his stuff. He is a an excellent and talented horn player with a great band!!

I heard a trumpet play one time, and it sounded like he was playing farts through his horn. I think his name was Sabor or something.

Without a doubt Mr. Arturo Sandoval is the best trumpet player in the world alive today. He has some wild chops and can hit triple and quadruple ones with ease.

Phil SMith, David Hickman, SergeiNakariakov.

aurturo and wynton are both great, but i think arturo has more style. listen to his virtuoso trumpet cd, its awesome.

quad f justin? that`s impressive

of course me

Clifford Brown and Dizzy Gillispy; Winton Marsilis is right up there too

Miles Davis, honestly. Listen to his 1964 album Four and More. It`s him, Ron/Herbie/Tony and.. I can`t remember the sax off hand. I don`t think that Miles` bop playing was as good as Dizzy`s, but when you start to get into Kind of Blue up into the mid-late 60s he really shined.

Good trumpet playing is more than playing high notes or the speed of playing said notes. Yes, Bill Chase was good. So is Maynard. However, they both pale in comparison to Miles and even players like Chet Baker, etc.

Lucky

Have you ever heard of Vince DiMartino? Listen to a DOJO cd then you can see some trumpet playing. Oh by the way, I don`t like arturo sandoval. Dizzy Gilespe is much better (ever seen the DVD?)

Yes, Quad F# actually. It took me around 6 years to get to, and by then, I had just begun to play Riverdance up 2 octaves, so, I needed to get higher XD
Like I said, No pressure, as much air as possible, Really works, with time.

just buy a pee shooter mouthpiece like a jet tone, get a super lightweight horn like a Shilke, try to imitate Maynard`s mannerisms, and you are on your way! It also helps to have some tight jockey shorts, and make sure your colon is empty, then wail man!! Super triple F# wow! I`m impressed!!
