Listening to "Clifford Brown with Strings".
Anything like this in mood and sweet trumpet sound? Don't need the strings.

Great sound, ideas and compositions.
"If people don't want to come, nothing will stop them" - Sol Hurok
Someone below suggested Vol 5 - no argument there, I just happen to like vol 2! Easy to listen to, but interesting, and it's been a test CD for years. I love the timbre of the trumpet in the opening cut.
I have the whole Standard Time set, and like 'em all.
check out Ted Curson.
Yeah.

...went to Reynolds Winery on Saturday in Napa.
I agree with you - I was underwhelmed.
Nice location.
We were thinking about going to Napa for a night but the Westin is booked solid for September (I use points). Is something going on or is this the high season for Napa?
...crush, leaves changing colors, post-earthquake support.

I would also recommend "Red Clay" & "Times Are Changing"
You got That right!

hot playing, terrific music.
I especially like "Suspended Night" on ECM--which is beautifully recorded, too.

Anything by the Clifford Brown and Max Roach Group. What a tragedy of the highest level that Brownie, Richie Powell and Brownie's wif died in a terrible car crash on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Brownie was all of twenty six years old.I have been a Clifford Brown fan for many years. He is a continual delight: melodic, lyrical, inventive and could do the hard bop like no one.d
Kenny Dorham: a way under appreciated trumpet player.
Lest Bowie, in any of his incarnations from The Art Ensemble of Chicago ( open your ears), to The Leaders and Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy. Bowie played in a different universe then his contemporaries.
Lest I forget, the west coast trumpeter, Chet Baker. again, melodic and inventive. master exponant of the west coast sound. played with Gerry Mulligan, Russ Freeman and others. Could sing like no one else: Chet Baker Sings", is quite amazing. He was not a nice man. He died falling down a flight of stairs. Ugh! What a fine musician!
KD's Quiet Kenny would seem to fit the OP's requirements. Good suggestion, and one of my favorite albums.
a marvel who took the trumpet in SO many directions, utilizing the breadth of it "properly" and throwing in
enough splats, squeaks, squonks and sonics to keep one on their toes while expanding the lexicon.
ALWAYS with fun, wit and LIFE.
Saw him live with two of three of those tremendous musical outfits (missed Brass Fantasy) and he (and they) were a
COMPLETE and satisfying delight in countless ways.
He really was a fantastic musician and Leader.
He is missed.

wow. never seen previously. tasteful, with the trumpet on the side. the tragic loss continues to sadden me.thanks. just listened to the complete brown and roach group studio recordings. first rate engineering. can hear all instruments. lots of space. nothing need be said of brown's horn work. roach was one mofo drummer. now i understand why ginger mentions roach in "beware mr. baker".the young sonny rollins was first rate and richie powell was distinctive and inventive ( at times sounding a bit like his older brother. this is a definite 'must buy' cd.///
Those Emarcy's (M.R.C. Mercury Recording Company) are really good sounding mono recordings.
We need to count ourselves extremely lucky that we have as much evidence of Clifford Brown on the planet as we do.
"If people don't want to come, nothing will stop them" - Sol Hurok
And don't forget what a nice big sound Clifford had!
"If people don't want to come, nothing will stop them" - Sol Hurok
yes, one of the elements of his playing that is stunning is 'fullness'; a reason in itself to listen.I have never again heard that 'fullness'.
Wynton Marsalis, The Midnight Blues Standard Time Vol. 5 or Standards & Blues
And while some might argue about whether or not they qualify as jazz, the recordings Bobby Hackett, without doubt a fine jazz trumpet player, did with Jackie Gleason and strings might appeal to you.
made some marvelous records

Freddy Hubbard - Pensativa, absolutely one of my favourite tracks ever

Clark Terry - wonderful tone

(Absence of Miles Davis is deliberate)
I'd recommend Booker Little. Try BL And Friend (aka Victory And Sorrow), or Out Front.

Other recs:
Freddie Hubbard's Hub Tones or Open Sesame. Or Sky Dive from a bit later.
Art Farmer, The Summer Knows. Very slow and beautiful. Or any of the Jazztet recordings with Benny Golson, particularly Another Git Together.
Tomasz Stanko, Suspended Night or Lontano. Quiet, spare, lovely.
Miles Davis, Quiet Nights or Sketches Of Spain.
Woody Shaw, many to rec, but a lot is upbeat if that's a concern, but worth a listen. Try Master Of The Art, Rosewood, For Sure.
Donald Byrd, Free Form or Fuego.
Try some samples at Amazon or iTunes. Happy listening.
Earfood album.
Miles Davis?
OJC CD or Jazzland LP.
Not sure if you're looking for strictly ballads but you might like Lee Morgan Candy or Listen To Art Farmer and the Orchestra. Of course there's the rest of Clifford Brown recordings including with Helen Merrill. Certainly if you're not familiar with Miles Porgy and Bess or Sketches of Spain those would also be obvious choices, as well as any number of Chet Baker records. I would also include Booker Little on Time Records and Out Front but those are a little further musically so they may not be to your taste.

I Love Booker Little!
