Without a doubt Mr. Arturo Sandoval is the best trumpet player in the world alive today. He has some wild chops and can hit triple and quadruple ones with ease.

Miles Davis, honestly. Listen to his 1964 album Four and More. It`s him, Ron/Herbie/Tony and.. I can`t remember the sax off hand. I don`t think that Miles` bop playing was as good as Dizzy`s, but when you start to get into Kind of Blue up into the mid-late 60s he really shined.
Good trumpet playing is more than playing high notes or the speed of playing said notes. Yes, Bill Chase was good. So is Maynard. However, they both pale in comparison to Miles and even players like Chet Baker, etc.

Have you ever heard of Vince DiMartino? Listen to a DOJO cd then you can see some trumpet playing. Oh by the way, I don`t like arturo sandoval. Dizzy Gilespe is much better (ever seen the DVD?)

Yes, Quad F# actually. It took me around 6 years to get to, and by then, I had just begun to play Riverdance up 2 octaves, so, I needed to get higher XD
Like I said, No pressure, as much air as possible, Really works, with time.

just buy a pee shooter mouthpiece like a jet tone, get a super lightweight horn like a Shilke, try to imitate Maynard`s mannerisms, and you are on your way! It also helps to have some tight jockey shorts, and make sure your colon is empty, then wail man!! Super triple F# wow! I`m impressed!!
