Smooth Jazz: Trumpet
Apple Music
Since Donald Byrd's first forays into jazz fusion with the Mizell Brothers, the trumpet has been at the heart of the smooth jazz sound. From early adopters like Freddie Hubbard and Randy Becker, to the ‘70s grooves of Herb Alpert and Chuck Mangione, to modern wunderkinds like Chris Botti, the horn is always at home with this mellow style.
