1950's Trumpet Greats Welcome to Ace Jazz Library - Podcast no.2Yes folks we are in the 1950's when it was all change on the jazz scene. This weeks podcast features a diverse range of trumpet players, cornetists and flugelhornists (!) and music spanning the gap between swing, bebop, hard bop and New Orleans. With the gradual demise of big bands in the 1940's-50s, the record buying and radio listening public now supported smaller ensembles, with virtuosity and blistering solos more to the fore. Taking advantage of the new long player record format, solos were not only longer but everyone in the band could shine. This podcast features outstanding performances from some of the classic albums of the era. Click on the title above to listen.
