[Dixielandjazz] New Orleans Jazz ~ Trumpeters

[richard.flecknell at ntlworld.com]

Evenings Folks,

can't help but notice since joining up that New Orleans Jazz gets a shorter measure of exposure than say Dixieland, Swing & Mainstream.  When I do contribute to this list it's often about the very great Jazz players so I'm guilty too.

I was/am a New Orleans Jazz follower too. The trumpeter's obligations differ from that required in other jazz fields (you all know this of course).

I'll list some I have a preference for, perhaps the enlightened can pass on more recommendations too. What about Australia for a start?

Ken Colyer
Dave Clennell 
Pete Smith
Cuff Billet
Tony O'Sullivan
Geoff Bull

For those new to this style try out Kid Shots Madison for a more authentic sauce to taste.
