Firstly the implication that who I enjoy listening to is inferior to who you like is just pathetically stupid. Secondly, I really have to assume that you don't know much about early Jazz. Pops is the most influential Jazz musician of all time. Lastly, for those who are obsessed with high notes and speed he may not be exciting.  Then again those obsessed with playing high and fast are usually so pedantic that they are unmusical, and unlovely and wouldn't make MY top 100.

For me Clifford Brown is only 2nd to Louis Armstrong. Then again CB died at what age 25? Can only imagine him at 40...

@NoirMusic Thinking of Pops as not being able to or even choosing to play fast or to play high is to miss what he meant to all of us. Louis was the first to improvise away from the melody and develop an entire vocabulary for jazz. He could and did play fast - listen to West End Blues. He regularly played high F's and lip trilled on them. We do these things now, because did them first.

It's worth noting that the (sadly) underrated and always extraordinary and beautiful Kenny Dorham replaced Brownie in the Messengers. Thanks for sharing this. I've always found both of their tones to be a bit melancholic, rounded, and absolutely spot-on for certain moods. Man, it just doesn't get much better than this. Thanks again.

@HELLOkitty1974 Miles did not have anything close to Clifford's technique and fluency on the instrument, but he was just as musical and he developed his own ingenious voice. They should not be compared like sports cars or something.

The sound quality is badly distorted here, but Clifford's playing is creme de la creme as always!

Which jazz-expert could give me a few more songs like this?

I like trumpetsolo's but i dont like the beat which it goes on in most of the song, it makes me nervous. Love this because it doesnt have the nervous beat.

I love the combination of a piano and a trumpet/sax etc.

Sorry for the bad english.

[HELLOkitty1974]

Sorry, MattieSongbird --- Miles couldn't play like that even in his dreams...

@NoirMusic Pure insanity to consider how much he contributed, and what he accomplished at such a young age. I can't imagine such a thing.

I find solo trumpets to be annoying- saxes are better for solos.
