    Criteria may change over time but if contemporary writeups are to be used as a yardstick, the paintings of George Wettling weren't THAT bad.

    Would Boris Vian's musical efforts on (downsized) trumpet count? Surviving records are fairly listenable, given the context of the times. And who knows where he might have progressed to if his doctors hadn't urged him to give up trumpet playing.

    yes, poet and musician

    “Peter is the latest flowering in the line of great trumpet improvisers commencing with Louis Armstrong and developing through Roy Eldridge, Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro and Clifford Brown”.

    Not to challenge your line of thought but it seems to me you are missing some links. I mean there is a generation or two between the beboppers and Peter Evans. Miles. Leo Smith, Bill Dixon Don Cherry, Lester Bowie. I think today's trumpet players are all indepted one way or the other to these and other players.
