He was immensely popular with musicians in and out of the jazz scene and frequently sang alongside performances.
Miles Davis was an exceptional trumpet player, bandleader and composer. Davis was pivotal in the development of smooth jazz. Chet Baker utilized a warm tone to the ears. He was a part of notable groups, including the Gerry Mulligan Quartet, and he lived a relatively tough life battling drug addiction.
Dizzy Gillespie is a staple in the genre of bebop and the Afro-Cuban movement. Gillespie could handle upbeat tempos and the higher register of the trumpet. Around , he embarked on a lifelong servitude to drugs; the focus of his career became finding and bankrolling the next score, every gig and relationship a means to that obsessive end. His hand-to-vein existence took its toll in prison sentences, beatings, and domestic chaos, reflected in his wrinkled, ravaged face.
But none of that seemed to affect his music. Still a classic, the original is the first track on Chet Baker Sings , a CD of vintage performances from the s.
The album is a classic, a testament to gifts of extraordinary purity. Backed by a first-rate rhythm section, Baker delivers a sequence of evergreen standards with consummate taste and ease, his diction impeccable, intonation flawless. His trumpet playing provides the perfect foil, subtle, inventive and fresh. The description implies the slightly barbed subtext that dogged Braff in his early days.
What business did a young jazz musician have cultivating an old-fashioned style when his contemporaries were all going in the heady new directions of bebop? To Ruby, the real jazz tradition was the kind of rich, melodic invention effortlessly embodied by the star soloists of the swing generation, leading back to Louis Armstrong. As he began his career around his native Boston, he was naturally drawn to players some 20 years his senior, such as clarinettist Edmond Hall and trombonist Vic Dickenson, who welcomed him as a rather unlikely kindred spirit.
Over the decades, until his death in , he won a global following, despite his prickly personality. Full of romantic opulence, rococo flourishes, wit and invention, it defines Braff as not just a traditionalist but a classic.
While other famous jazz trumpeters could play higher and faster than Miles, his ability to put together fabulous bands and create classic albums is virtually unmatched. His influence can be heard in many of the best jazz trumpeters today. Regularly named as the best jazz album ever, Kind of Blue features Miles at his cool, considered best. Brown was already recognised as one of the greatest trumpeters in jazz when he was tragically killed in a car crash in , aged just A brilliant technician with a warm, round sound, he was primarily influenced by Fats Navarro, and would himself prove to be an inspiration for Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Donald Byrd and countless other famous trumpet players in years to come.
However, prior to his mysterious death in Amsterdam in , he had actually had something of a revival, making some of his most technically impressive recordings whilst spending most of his final years in Europe. The vocal records Chet Baker Sings and It Could Happen To You are more famous but, from a trumpet perspective, this recording might be more interesting.
Al Haig and Johnny Griffin also feature on piano and tenor saxophone respectively. A run of albums in the s, including Delightfulee , Search For The New Land , Cornbread and The Procrastinator are all packed with brilliant tunes, largely written by Lee Morgan himself, and played by wonderful bands.
