I was lucky enough to both hear and meet Armstrong when I was in College he was both an amazing trumpet player and a very kind person. Thank you for making this video
@@dickgundlach5707 I pretty much agree, but Clark Terry is another one of those guys who are much, much more than just a jazz trumpet player. After all, could anyone else actually make a trumpet talk?
Louis Armstrong was clearly Number 1, in fact many would say that, without Louis Armstrong, there would really be no jazz. The only other musician I might name as being a jazz originator would be Jellyroll Morton, and he made much less of a contribution than Satchmo.
It's Freddy Hubbard all day for me!#1 then in no particular order Dizzy, Arturo Sandoval, woody Shaw, Miles , Terrance Blanchard, Donald Byrd, and Lois Armstrong!
One of my personal favorites who’s not on this list is Booker Little. He was born the same year as Freddie Hubbard (whom he was friends with) and Lee Morgan but sadly passed away in 1961 at 23 from uremia brought on by lupus. If you listen to him you can hear the effect he had in Freddie in terms of superhuman technique and unorthodox harmonic approach.
You should have made your list bigger because you missed some amazing players. Kenny Dorham, Art Farmer, Blue Mitchell, Idrees Sulieman and Thad Jones.
I know it's hard to compile a complete list but I think Don Ellis should get at least an Honorable Mention. The man could improvise amazingly and his odd metered music is incredible to listen to.
Good list. I wouldn’t have included Donald Byrd, a solid but unspectacular bop player when he was playing in that style. I love Freddie but I wouldn’t rate him quite that high-he did a fair amount of unfocused playing later in his career-before he injured his chops, I should add. As some other people have mentioned I’d add Don Ellis-a unique, brilliant talent. As I said, a well put-together list overall.
Freddie is the greatest to ever do it. I’ve listened to decades with of his work as well as most everyone else on this list and none of them had as many gifts and strengths all at once as Freddie did. Yeah he got caught up in showboating at times especially later but he still took more exciting and exhilarating solos full of melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic invention on a more consistent basis than ANYONE else on this list. He’s done so in the company of everyone from John Coltrane to Art Blakey to Wayne Shorter to Herbie Hancock to Oscar Peterson to Dexter Gordon to fellow trumpeters Diz, Clark Terry, Lee Morgan, Eddie Henderson, and Woody Shaw to name but a few. He belongs at the top. Thank you.
I agree, but even Al himself said he was not a jazz trumpet player. He was much, much more. His creativity and technical ability exceed any trumpet player I ever heard.
Are you kidding me with this list, woody shaw at number ten! He's the greatest trumpet player who ever lived. Where's Booker little and fats Navarro and Kenny dorham. Obviously your not a jazz fan, who's writing these comments for you, they know nothing about jazz, really lee morgan at six? You must be out of your mind!

Nice! Yes, very lucky of you!
You are right...it is hard to pick only 10. I like Clark Terry and Wynton in the top 10.
Clark Terry belongs in this list for sure.

Not sure if he belongs on this list but my favorite jazz trumpeter is Roy Hargrove. Once again taken too soon but his work is phenomenal.
I had the pleasure of seeing Roy numerous times in various groups. He’s one of my all time favorites too. I miss him dearly.
Louis Armstrong was clearly Number 1, in fact many would say that, without Louis Armstrong, there would really be no jazz. The only other musician I might name as being a jazz originator would be Jellyroll Morton, and he made much less of a contribution than Satchmo.
It's BLAKEY, not Blakely.

Freddie Hubbard also played the Flugelhorn.

Thank you for making videos I love them so much thank you so much
Thanks for watching and for leaving this lovely comment!
Wheres Wynton
Wynton is amazing! It's hard to pick only 10 players for sure. I put Wynton in the top 10 classical list though!
I would not consider Wynton Marsalis strictly a jazz trumpet player. He can, and does, play any trumpet discipline well.
Miles Davis is the GOAT!!!!
yes you got it right.
Clark Terry ? Wynton Marsalis ? Don Cherry ? Arturo Sandoval ? Cootie Williams ?
So do you play jazz?😂
I dont think he does

Totally agreed! Yeah it's tough to narrow it down to just 10 people

Al hirt blows most all of the above away! Most under rated trpt player of all time.
I agree, but even Al himself said he was not a jazz trumpet player. He was much, much more. His creativity and technical ability exceed any trumpet player I ever heard.
What about James Morrison !!!!!! ?
Copy-pasted the text 10 times, would have been better to let us listen to the artists
I know your a Trumpet player, but could you do a Saxophone one of these?
Leaving out Harry James and Charlie Shavers disqualifies the list!
