I like both in the hands of great musicians.
Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer?
It’s not the first time I’ve thought about it, but it came up again last night as I was listening to Quintessence volume 2, Stan Getz and Chet Baker recorded live. (an amazing disc) I have to say that for myself, I prefer the saxophone because it seems capable of infinite textures and subtle shadings as well as eye opening dynamic shifts. Of course I love the trumpet too; especially in the hands of a player like Chet Baker.

I am biased - see my user image. That is my tuner screen-shot of me working on the "unobtainium" octave. Hey, I’m within 2 cents at 105 dB :) Here, listen to this soli section nugget by the Smokin Section - Steve Patrick on lead and Joe M. on sax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA05dbvvmi4 |
This guy just does it all.....I mean ALL except the drum kit. To me James Morrison is a once in a life time all-rounder! Talk about adjusting your chops. lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpiCEVHtHXM |
