[TPIN] 20 Greatest Jazz Trumpet Players of All Time

[Dean Betts]

I agree with his list.
It's really a top 22 list since two players each were listed for #5 and #11.
I would put Chet Baker and Blue Mitchell on the list, but I don't know who I
would take off.
Very interesting thread.
How about a top 20 lead player list?

> Jon Faddis did a special on Sirius Radio today which listed the 20
greatest jazz trumpeters of all time.  The list includes many of the
obvious, but I was shocked that Chet Baker did not make the list, neither
did Blue Mitchell, Al Hirt, Maynard Ferguson, or Arturo Sandoval.

> What really steamed me was that Faddis listed Wynton Marsalis and Nicholas
Payton.  What is this guy thinking?  These guys are great players, but I
don't think they have earned their place in history yet, nor do I think they
would be listed at the exclusion of some really great historical players
that were left out.  I listened to the entire 90 minute show where each name
was given and then a tune played from that artist.  I just can't believe
some of the names not on the list, this was just terrible!
