Who is Dave Pike?

I heard this awesome song, well actually a trumpet solo.

It went on and on, about 4--6 choruses like Clifford, then sounded like Miles and then like Dizzy.

It was a Wayne Shorter number.

I could have the wrong band. Just asking.

Dave Pike is a vibes player.
He has a record out with Carl Saunders on trumpet and a Shorter tune on it (Beauty and the Beast). Maybe that is what you are referring to. (I forgot the album title, try a google search)

Thanks! It was on the local Long Beach jazz station earlier this evening on the way into work.

That IS the name of one of the tunes they mentioned. What a player! What a solo.
