|   Doc Severinsen is the greatest trumpet player of all-time. He can play any style with preternatural proficiency. He has "the sound", fabulous technique, great range, impeccable style, and an inexhaustable supply of outrageous outfits. | After You've Gone Flyin' Home Celebration Suite Rhapsody For Then Psalm 150 Ralph Herman: Trumpet Concerto |
|   Bill Chase made a name for himself as the lead player/soloist with Woody Herman, then became a pioneer of jazz/rock with his own unique group, Chase. Not since Louis Armstrong had a trumpeter poured so much of his own personality into every note. | MacArthur Park Sex Machine Somewhere Watermellon Man |
|   Lin Biviano has a style of lead playing that's all his own. The combination of range, in-your-face soloing, a thick, fast vibrato, and exuberant personality on the bandstand made him one of the most exciting lead players ever. | Something Things Ain't What They... Tomorrow's Blues Today Superstar |
|   Bud Brisbois was the ultimate high-note specialist. Few others have made the extreme upper register sound so effortless. Bud played clean and precise, and created instant excitement, most notably with Billy May, Henry Mancini, and Stan Kenton. | Jesus Christ Superstar Aquarius Whisper Not Children Of The Night Window Washer Sweet Georgia Brown Duet 13 Duet 14 |
|   John Madrid was a truly wonderful person who is loved and deeply missed by those that knew him in his all too brief life and career as a trumpet player. He was a tremendous lead player and soloist, and was gifted with an impossibly clear upper register to triple C and beyond. | Just Friends Grooves Blues Mi Burrito 2 O'Clock Jump We've Only Just Begun |
|   When Tommy Stevenson came along in 1933, he quickly became the most prominent high-note player of his day. Tommy was a featured soloist with Jimmie Lunceford, and was known for his powerful range up to double C. | Rhythm Is Our Business - Take 1 Rhythm Is Our Business - Take 2 White Heat |
|   Al Killian was one of the original double-C players. He was also a very good soloist, and played with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and many others. He took over the high-note book in Ellington's band when Cat left in 1947, and would certainly be more famous if not for his untimely death. | Goin' Down You're The One Trumpets No End After You've Gone |
|   Leo Shepherd was a staple in Lionel Hampton's band in the late forties and early fifties. He could swing and had decent solo chops, but he made his name playing triple C's and up. His sound and style in the upper register closely resembles that of Cat Anderson, but Leo could play higher more consistently. | Dues Blues Adam Blew His Hat - Studio Adam Blew His Hat - Live |
|   Phil Driscoll plays to inspire. His performances are events of worship, equal parts playing and praise. His gritty, soulful voice open the listener's heart, and his soaring arpeggios enkindle a religious experience. | Old Time Religion Higher Ground Great Is The Lord Blow The Trumpet In Zion Trust In Him |
|   Allen Vizzutti is the most technically gifted trumpeter of his generation. He is master of many styles including classical, jazz, and rock. He is also an imaginative composer whose works have been performed by the world's greatest trumpet players. | La Virgen De La Macarena A Night In Tunisia Firedance Carnival Of Venice |
