Just got my zune today. 30 gigs of music and video. I hear that listening is just as important as practice. I plan on flooding my player with trumpet players of all type of music. The problem is that since I am "amateur" listener if that's what you will call it , I do not know many people other than the norm. (Arturo, Maynard, Jon Faddis, Marsalis) Names would be greatly appreciated!


I will be buying my music from the Zune marketplace which had a huge library, so I doubt rareness would be an issue. Anyways, once again, names would be appreciated!

Thanks!

So many names where to start.

If you are looking for contrast of genres I would recommend:

Classical:
Sergi Nakariakoz
Jens Lindemann
Maurice Andre
Niklas Eklund
Philip Smith
Tomfei Dokshizer
Wynton Marsalis

Jazz:
Louis Armstrong
Miles Davis
Chet Baker
Clark Terry
Freddie Hubbard
Ingrid Jensen
James Morrison (Australian - not sure how accessible his albums are)
Dizzy Gillespie
Lee Morgan
Clifford Brown
Art Farmer
Al Hirt
Rafael Mendez
Bill Chase
Bobby Shew
Cootie Williams
Guido Basso
Mike Vax
Wayne Bergeron


These are most of my favorites I am sure I am forgetting some (just not coming to me right now. You are on a GREAT start with Arturo, Maynard, Faddis, Marsalis and all those giants.

My personal all time fav is Arturo. Check out his Classical album. And if you havent already heard it "Trumpet Evolution". Every piece is perfect to the time and style of each trumpet player who helped shape jazz.

And check this website out for SURE!! Trumpet Stuff

Have fun

Well thank you, eisprl. I was able to find numerous albums on all of them except for Ingrid Jensen and James Morrison. This will definitely help in the long run as a player.

Which leads me to my next question. I have an audition in the near future and am required to play a small technical bit and a small lyrical bit. I picked a song performed by Philip Smith after looking him up called "Street Scene" I will be playing the first 80 or so measures as my technical piece, but am having trouble finding a lyrical piece that I can have fun with. Any suggestions?

Go get some Chris Botti.

My favorite is "Chris Botti Live".

Chris, my opinion, is one of the hottest new trumpet players around. He is currently on tour and can be seen almost every day in December in NY city.

I just saw him with Diana Krall in Phoenix and he is a terrific roll model.

I don't know if the Zune music store would have it, but if you can, check out Charlie Schlueter's stuff. His Hindemith will blow you away...
