AllenLowe Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 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.

CJ Shearn Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Corey Wilkes, when he plays inside. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alocispepraluger102 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 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. agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yes, Avishai for sure. David Weiss, with extra props for putting together the Cookers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xybert Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) 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. 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).

And Pelt can play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcy Pandanus Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 John D'Earthhttp://www.c-ville.com/john-dearth-trumpet-player/ 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.
