This jazz version of I love Paris is very cool to hear. And another proof of the great talent Al Hirt had. A very gifted musician and for me the best trumpet player I have ever heard.
I don’t know why Al Hirt is universally acknowledged as the greatest trumpet player to ever come out of New Orleans. He certainly was- and that is saying something when you consider the other legendary Crescent City trumpet players.
al hirt had it all- pure tonal quality-up and down range- articulation-power unsurpassed or even matched- he added the word genius to my heart- thanks al
