<When I think of Jazz trumpet Miles ,Brownie,Wynton,Dizzy come to mind not Al Hirt> i don't know why you would not think of Al Hirt because he is the greatest...

Jazzgirl Before you write this book do some reasearch Al Hirt in his own words Although Hirt came out of New Orleans leading a Dixieland band, he never let...
None of my comments in response to jazzgirl are meant to demean Mr. Hirt. I, too, was one of those ten year old trumpet players who wanted to play like him (I...

I was wondering why no one has brought up how Chet was influenced by the great flugelhorn player Chuck Mangione. Just kidding......... Thanks for reminding me...
