Yes, There is a contradiction on my choices for tenor which omits my fave LTD, as well as Pres & Hawk. Trumpet omits Clifford Brown.

I like your choices, Jeff. Especially your alto and tenor picks.

I knew I liked muted trumpets.

Joe Oliver is one of the most important figures in early Jazz. When we use the phrase Hot Jazz, we are really referring to his style of collective improvisation (rather than solos). He was the mentor and teacher of Louis Armstrong. Louis idolized him and called him Papa Joe. Oliver even gave Armstrong the first cornet that Louis was to own. Oliver was blinded in one eye as a child, and often played while sitting in a chair, or leaning against the wall, with a derby hat tilted so that it hid his bad eye. Joe was famous for his using mutes, derbies, bottles and cups to alter the sound of his cornet. He was able to get a wild array of sounds out of his horn with this arsenal of gizmos.

After rethinking my personal preferences in jazz cornet/trumpet, I have to go with Bix Beiderbecke and Louis Armstrong.

Here's Bix with "Sorry". One great performance with the "muted" sound of his cornet.
