so many great trumpet me you don't hear about if you don't follow it closely - clayton, roy eldridge, oran 'hot lips' page, ray nance, rex stewart, cat anderson, and my all-time favorite, cootie williams. and that's just from two bands in the 30s and 40s.
And check out the understated but brilliant drumming by Jo Jones. I once heard Max Roach say Papa Jo was the greatest of them all. I've never heard anything to contradict that.
@123must I like Roy's playing, but he plays in the upper register 99% of the time. I've always felt that Charlie Shavers was one the most underrated trumpet players.
@123must - (Buck/underrated) - True. Shad Collins, Emmett Berry, Joe Thomas could be mentioned, also ... and the legacy of Bix Beiderbecke is undiminished. ... Better, this is a GREAT example of Ben Webster in his later years.
Muchas gracias por compartirlo.

@mcsneedy - Bubber Miley, also, from Duke Ellington's earliest bands. Fletcher Henderson had some great trumpeters, etc., also.

Buck Clayton is one of the most underrated trumpet players in the history of jazz and the same happens to Roy Eldridge, the master of Dizzy!

@123must Yes indeed. Buck is one of the greatest. I think Joe Wilder is the most underrated though.
