As a former trumpet player, I like to listen to any albums by Maynard Ferguson or Doc Severinsen. Chuck Mangione is also good. Other instrumentalist that I enjoy is Kenny G playing the soprano sax.
I too was a former trumpet player until I accidentally sat on your Louis Armstrong model tinfoil hat. I crushed it beyond repair, and sadly my trumpet playing days are over.
A little known feature of the Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong Tinfoil Hat is that if you crush it, it turns into our Dizzy Gillespie model: Your trumpet playing days may not be over!
My favorite trumpet player is Herb Alpert. When I was a little girl, I wanted to learn to play the trumpet. My parents told me that was a boy's instrument. My father took me to the music store, because I had asked for a trumpet. There was one hanging on the wall. He handed it to me and told me to try to play it. No matter how hard I blew, I couldn't get a sound out of it. So that was that. I settled on guitar. I'm very out of practice though. I also loved the saxophone. You don't see many women playing brass instruments, actually. Don't know if it's true, but I read that the sax on Baker Street is played by a woman.
