Your Favorite Trumpet Player of All time

Art Farmer - Sophistication, accuracy and ability to swing. Art found the prettiest notes to play out of a chord.
Miles Davis - Depth of feeling and expression, I think Miles' ability to tell a story is unmatched.
Clark Terry - Clark Terry can play what ever he wants.
and then .... Chet Baker, Blue Mitchell, Lee Morgan, Nat Adderly, Terrence Blanchard, Roy Hargrove, Tom Herrell, Russell Gunn.
I am suprised that no one has mentioned Clark Terry in this thread. Clark made every band he played in happen; listen to his ensemble work on Blue Mitchell's CD's. Clark anchored the NBC Orchestra so Doc could do his thing.

Doc is unconscience... hope he never wakes up....

but also like Bobby Shew. Also if there is one player that has so much raw talent if he would just play in our stratosphere is Scott Englebright. I've posted this link before but just in case take a gander over there at Danny Boy..

I don't think you can compare him to the superstars but he seems to have a lot of the necessary foundation... (if somehow he could graduate out of the TasteeBros elementary school....)

Not sure how to interpret that. Maybe "unconscious"? Doc was quite spry when I met him last year. Peeled the paint off the walls for 2 hours straight, including a dead-on imitation of / tribute to Louis Armstrong (playing not singing). We can only hope we're that feeble when we're 77. (I bet Doc can spell pretty well, too.)

no flames ... just a little humor...

So many. But I'll cast a vote for the OTHER Doc, lest we forget. Doc Cheatham.
