Great Trumpet Players and Albums - recommendations
I'm looking for well recorded masterpiece of trumpet albums. Can you recommend a few players and their albums. I like the trumpet performance in "Hope" by Hugh Masekela.
I suppose Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" is the gold standard. There are a lot of great Miles albums. Another one I would recommend is "In a Silent Way." If you enjoy both of those, you have a lot of fun exploring to do. "Love Songs" is a beautiful compilation to seek out.
If you want a well-recorded masterpiece and like big-band style trumpet, try Harry James, "The King James Version" (Sheffield Labs, 1976). Vinyl, of course. The album is recorded direct-to-disc, sounds fantastic, and captures Harry at his best.
