[TPIN] 20 Greatest Jazz Trumpet Players of All Time

[Mike Vax]

I HATE lists like this.  They are impossible to create and to substantiate.
Now - if Faddis had said "These are MY favorite 20 jazz trumpet players,
that would be a different story.  NO ONE is the ultimate authority to just
state that THESE 20 people are the greatest of ANYTHING. Well, I guess it
might be easier in sports, since you do have statistics to work with, but in
ART?????
Give me a break!
