I won't choose and you can't make me…but I adore Dizzy, Brownie, Miles, Chet, Woody, Bobby Hackett, Lester Bowie, Don Cherry, Rex Stewart, Olu Dara, Leo Smith…and am so glad someone mentioned Clark Terry.

I have to go with Armstrong but I think Miles Davis is a close second. I've heard Wynton Marsalis live a handful of times and he is also a fine talent.

Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong both amazing, I've seen Miles Davis live so he got my vote.

I am still fairly new to the jazz genre so I haven't had exposure to alot of trumpeters. However with what I have bought and heard, Freddie Hubbard is my favorite. Clifford Brown and Louis are tied for second. Following them would be Miles.

Funny thing is, because of head-fi I got into headphones and then into jazz. I loved the trumpet sound so much I bought a TR300 and have been taking trumpet lessons here in nyc.

Lee Morgan

I third the suggestion for Chet Baker. I personally favor Lee Morgan, despite his extremely short discography. In My opinion, he was the most talented of all the trumpeters mentioned. The thing that people forget about him was that he died at age 35. Had he lived a decent 60 years, I think he would have for sure come out with some seminal albums that would be incontrovertible evidence as to his awesomeness. Then again, jazz has different flavors, all these guys are great.

Voted for Miles, by a mile lol. Chet would be my second choice.

Anyone would care to recommend a well recorded/played album by Louis, please?

Miles Davis has definitely altered his style and done a lot for the genre; he's been around a very long time and held his own. Gillespie is no doubt an amazing musician. I'm torn between the two.

Miles got my vote, but one could easily argue that Armstrong is at the top. I wouldn't argue against that.

All in all, it's just for fun. They all really make their own contribution, and I don't really see one better than the other.

Of the currently alive and playing musicians I would have to say that, judging by their recordings there's not much to compare against the legends, but after seeing them live I gotta say they can really play.

Roy Hargrove
Rick Braun
Terence Blanchard
Randy Brecker

Never liked Marsalis at all.

Of the old guys on this list, well they all had their moments and were "best" in different ways. I couldn't possibly pick just one.
