Absolutely as well as Sir Miles Davis, but I don't recall them playing and 
OKOM, mostly contemporary Jazz.

The guys I mentioned all play OKOM and Real New Orleans Jazz, but I would bet 
that 75% of the folks on this list never heard of most of them, because they 
don't listen or look for Black Musicians playing Dixieland or Traditional 
Jazz.


I do and will also be the first to admit that I have never heard or listened 
to many of the other great White trumpet players that have been mentioned in 
this thread.  Mostly because they never made it to the mainstream of the music 
industry at least not during my coming uppance.
