on the tail end of Tommy Dorsey's 1941 recording of Sy Oliver's "Swingin' on Nothin,'" with Oliver and Jo Stafford on vocals? He's pretty impressive, no? Trumpet section was Ziggy Elman, Chuck Peterson, Jimmy Blake, and Al Stearns, none of them known to me as a high-note specialist.

BTW, the sound on this You Tube video is rather constricted. On the 4-CD set where I ran across it, "The Jo Stafford Collection," the band virtually blows you out of the room.

Oh....pick one of these, then?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Dorsey_(1937_%E2%80%93_1941

Trumpet - Al Steams, Andy Ferretti, Bunny Berigan, Charles Peterson, Charlie Spivak, Chuck Peterson, Clyde Hurley, Jimmy Blake, Joe Bauer, Lee Castaldo, Mickey Bloom, Pee Wee Erwin, Ray Linn, Tommy Dorsey, Yank Lawson, Ziggy Elman

The personnel listing  for this piece says the trumpeters are Ziggy Elman, Chuck Peterson, Jimmy Blake, and Al Stearns, and again, none of them is known to me as a high-note man, although that may just point to my lack of knowledge.

From the "Net': "Peterson gradually became a master of the high register of the trumpet."
