jazz trumpet
Swing era horn
Jazz trumpet is a style of trumpet playing developed within jazz music, characterized by techniques like mutes, growls, half-valve effects, and expressive vibrato that distinguish it from classical trumpet work.
The instrument has been central to jazz since its origins, with players like Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, and Miles Davis defining successive eras of the genre.
His jazz trumpet phrasing owes more to bebop than swing.
