The following trumpet players are featured on Arturo Sandoval’s “TRUMPET EVOLUTION” as a personal tribute to the artist’s listed-WHO (in your opinion) WAS LEFT OUT (or perhaps should NOT have been included?).

Wynton Marsalis-Freddie Hubbard-Maurice Andre-Clifford Brown-Chet Baker-Maynard Ferguson-Miles Davis-Fats Navarro-Timofei Dokschitzer-Clark Terry-Dizzy Gillespie-Harry James-Roy Eldridge-Charles “Cootie” Williams-Bunny Berigan-Rafael Mendez-Bix Beiderbecke-Louis Armstrong-Joseph “King” Oliver.

Booker Little - the missing link between Dokschitzer and Andre and Clifford Brown.

Woody Shaw - the missing link between Hubbard and Marsalis

And why am I not suprised to see that Bill Dixon, Lester Bowie, and Don Cherry are missing?

When will we see the Sandoval tribute to Jon Faddis?

Generally, when I use the phrase "I'd say," you can safely infer that I'm only speaking for my own tastes.

Look, I like some of what Arturo's done but this one, more than almost any modern straight-ahead jazz release I've heard, is an absolute travesty. There's nothing new or inspired in any of the arrangements. It's just slavish, self-indulgent copycatting. A coaster as far as I'm concerned.

it's just simply a tribute, not saying how to portray each but how the impression of each emulates.

I confess to being unsure of the meaning of this sentence. I guess the problem for me is that it's exactly as you describe it--"simply a tribute," in the very narrowest sense. It's a conscious attempt to ape both the sound and style of everyone who's being celebrated, with no other thought put into it. At best, dull. At worst, a landmark in egotism. I'll save my $18 and pick up the Booker Little records I don't have yet.

Actually, that list looked to me like an appropriate one to chronicle the trumpet style that Arturo seems to really really dig. There are other trumpet styles. . . unrepresented. Maybe he should have added Mario Bauza and Doc Cheatam. The ringer in this list seems to me to be Bix.

We would make a different list, each of us. I mean I don't personally feel that Lee Morgan and Booker Little contributed that much to the tradition. Some great music, yeah. But innnovations in trumpeting? Not to my way of looking at it.

I know you'll agree that Morgan and Little contributed more than Sandoval ;)
