Definitely think Nicholas Payton deserves a spot here…he’s not only a master, he’s a monster (and the good kind).

NO MAYNARD????????????????????
You need to get over Rocky and listen to Ole, Frame for the Blues, the Blues Roar LP and the Brass Attitude CD; to say nothing of his work with Kenton.

Thanks for the comments Mark. Chris Botti played the Newport Jazz Festival this year, and I agree – he’s got a great sound. Kinda reminiscent of Miles Davis, and very sharp…

well.. This 12 jazz trumpeters is all my favorite! especially clifford brown.. I think it’s kinda sad for him to leave the jazz music industries. I really admire his talent. Especially how big and whole his tone quality is. He’s really my inspiration why I like to hear jazz musics. Although I’m just a beginner, I’ll do what I can to be like my idol! Jazz music Rulez!

I think Cris Botti is one the most brilliant jazz trumpeter in 20th century. He just give me chills when I here him playing especially in The Legends of Jazz, where he played My Funny Valentine.. Wew!! He’s really is amazing!

I think Don Cherry was left off the list. Plus his last name is sorta feminine.

There actually are some female trumpeters out there. Wynton Marsalis’ site has a thread that mentions some names:

Um, I failed to see the reason to qualify the gender. There are no women who play the trumpet. I think I read that somewhere. Seriously, they do, but name that female jazz trumpeter.

I’m waiting…
