"Still no mention of me?"

Corey Wilkes, when he plays inside.

I've been in the boonies too long to hear a lot of people, but at his best Randy Sandke is the best trumpeter I ever played with (hear him on the two tunes we did on Jews in Hell); Ira Sullivan, btw, is the greatest post bop trumpeter I ever saw, though I only saw him once and he was brilliant.

IDK, every video I've pulled up of him he plays pretty inside within the mainstream tradition. If you can suggest something more outside, that'd be wonderful. He's a strong player from the vids I watched.

Personally, I like Terrance Blanchard the best of the lot mentioned above, Roy Hargrove second best, but in Hargrove's case the live performances I've heard are better than his recordings (Earfood and Nothing Serious are his best).

Josh Evans is a promising youngster (he's on the Tyler Michell and Dezron Douglas Live at Smalls releases--both recordings are quite good).

Also, Ambrose Akinmusire.

Check out Corey with Roscoe Mitchell. He's also played with the Art Ensemble of Chicago.

[Van]

Avishai Cohen

(not the bass player with the same name).

Saw him with Mark Turner at the Vanguard recently and it was crazy good.

Clearly, he is destined for the upper ranks.

[BFrank]

Yes, Avishai for sure.

David Weiss, with extra props for putting together the Cookers.

What's James Zollar up to these days? Always struck me as a player who really understood -- and loved -- the complete history of his instrument.

Maurice Brown, Pharez Whitted, Rob Mazurek.

The two Rites Quartet albums with Marty Ehrlich, Things Have Got to Change (2009) and Frog Leg Logic (2011), feature excellent playing from Zollar.

Jeremy Pelt was mentioned earlier in the thread. I'd never heard him before but picked up The Talented Mr Pelt from a bargain bin today on a whim. Really enjoyable unashamedly straight ahead type stuff. Might even end up getting another album from this quintet (features JD Allen and Gerald Cleaver, among others).

Ah yes; I'd forgotten about those Ehrlich dates. They are both quite fine.

And Pelt can play.

D'Earth is good. He may underappreciated because he doesn't live in NYC or the surrounding area. He contributes nicely to Tony Martucci's Life in Hand.

Ingrid Jensen is good too.

Yeah, I thought Zollar was the best part of those dates. Saw the band live once and wasn't feeling it. Oh well, shit happens.
