Trumpet cds like Chinatown

Go to Amazon.com and check out the brief samples of these albums:

Miles Davis, "My Funny Valentine [live]" -- a must!

Miles Davis, "Round About Midnight"

Miles Davis, "Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud (Lift To The Scaffold)"

Enrico Rava, "The Words And The Days" and "Tati"

"Glory" sound track and, of course, "The Godfather".

Jeff Oster incorporates world, jazz and other flavors into his music. He has excellent tone and tends to work wit silence rather than more complicated passages. Also Italia by Chris Botti is lovely - not a huge fan of him but again smooth and dense tones throughout.

Hi Guys,
Thank you. I'll check out all of your suggestions. Dcstep, I forgot about the "Glory" soundtrack, thanks for reminding me. Emiser, I think I know what you mean about Botti - nice sound, but it's all right there, it kind of lacks depth so I lose interest after a while. The guy whose horn really draws me in is Tomasz Stanko. Are you guys listening to any of his work? As for the older stuff, I like Chet Baker but was wondering about some of the other classic guys like Al Hirt and Harry James. Is all of there stuff up tempo?

here are a few more,
lee morgan,donald byrd,eddie henderson
paolo fresu,markus stockhausen,freddie hubbard/early stuff/
wynton marsalis, russell gunn,nat adderly, roy eldridge/especially on "jazz at the philharmonic'

nils petter molvaer
erik truffaz
jon hassler
to name but a few greats
