I really love Dinah Washington and anything live from her - she had some of the greatest jazz musicians in the whole world, and sometimes she would be with a big band, and sometimes she'd just be on stage with a muted trumpet, upright bass, and a piano.

Beth Hart

Also, I'd like to play an athlete again, while I'm still physically fit, or a musician, like Nat King Cole, because I play the trumpet and sing. I'd like to incorporate that into a character.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

Pet Music While

For example, after developing a sound similar to an elephant trumpeting, I wrote the song Elephant Talk which gave my elephant sound an appropriate place to live.

Adrian Belew

Pet Wrote Which

No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently.

Agnes de Mille

Pet Life UN

Louis Armstrong playing trumpet on the Judgment Day.

Al Stewart

Pet Men Yin

A superb tenor voice, like a silver trumpet muffled in silk.

Alec Guinness

Pet Voice Up

Sometimes in a Premier League game the fans are a bit quiet but in Nigeria you just hear trumpets, everything. The atmosphere is so different compared to England.

Alex Iwobi

Time Pet You

My trumpeting sounds like a goose farting in the fog.

Alex O'Loughlin

Pet Art UN

Not in our make-up, to be sure - not in the pose which is preceded by the tantaras of a trumpet - do the essential traits in our character first reveal themselves. But truly in the little things the real self is exteriorised.

Ameen Rihani

Pet Which Up

I would love to study guitar or trumpet.

Amy Winehouse

Pet Love Would

I have two brothers that are musicians. My older brother, Yuval, is a saxophone player. My younger brother, Avishai, is a trumpet player.

Anat Cohen

Pet Music Younger Brother

My younger brother Avishai was my first influence. He picked up the trumpet, and I listened to him. The way he played - with the half valves and the smears - made me want to play like him.

Anat Cohen

Pet Younger Brother Younger

As a trumpet player, I was playing Xenakis, Lindberg: very challenging, technical, atonal, and I enjoyed it.

Andris Nelsons

Pet Yin Very

He seems determined to make a trumpet sound like a tin whistle.

Aneurin Bevan

Pet Whistle UN

I don't want to blow my own trumpet but the aim of the game is to hit and not get hit and that is what I am doing.

Anthony Yarde

Pet Want Trumpet

I played the trumpet for nine years, and then I joined the choir after that, and then I was in musicals in high school.

Bebe Rexha

Pet Music Years

In the aftermath of President Obama's re-election, members of both the administration and the media trumpeted that Obama had received his long-sought mandate. Obamacare, Americans were told, was the law of the land. It could not be changed; it could not be stopped.

Ben Shapiro

Pet Change Car

I really love Dinah Washington and anything live from her - she had some of the greatest jazz musicians in the whole world, and sometimes she would be with a big band, and sometimes she'd just be on stage with a muted trumpet, upright bass, and a piano.

Beth Hart

Time Pet Music

I spend a lot of time copying saxophone players and trumpet players. Not to say that it is not important to listen to guitar players, but there's so much music out there and so many possibilities. I like anyone who plays any instrument.

Bill Frisell

Time Pet Music

I played the trumpet a bit like a porker, I think.

Boris Vian

Pet Trumpet Trump

Sometimes I feel like you can toot your own trumpet too much. I don't really like that.

Bradley Wright-Phillips

Time Pet Your

I played trumpet in middle school, and then I had to get braces, so I had to stop playing trumpet and start playing drums.

Brendon Urie

I fell in love with playing the trumpet because of what we call 'hot jazz' of the 1920s and 1930s, music that has a higher energy to it.

Bria Skonberg

With my trumpet voice, I love gritty, plunger, growly sounds. But vocally, I love Anita O'Day - a raspier but definitely softer sound. Part of the fun has been finding vehicles or writing for both of those sounds.

Bria Skonberg

I was inspired by my dad; he played trumpet in high school.

Bria Skonberg

There's nothing worse than bad scatting, except maybe bad mouth trumpet. Mouth trumpet may sound like a trumpet, but it's really more like playing a kazoo. The instant you do your solo, the audience has a bit of a chuckle.

Bria Skonberg

The E Street band casts a pretty wide net. Our influences go all the way back to the early primitive garage music, and also, we've had everything in the band from jazz players to Kansas City trumpet players to Nils Lofgren, one of the great rock guitarists in the world.

Bruce Springsteen

My first ambition in life, I made up my mind I was going to become Miles Davis. I studied music, music theory. I played trumpet for nine years. One day, my mother explained, 'You can't be Miles Davis. There's one, and he's got that job.'

Chris Gardner

I hate the natural sound of the trumpet, but I think I'm naturally set up to be a trumpet player. I know that sounds weird. But pretty much anytime I play a note, I'm uncomfortable in a general sense.

Christian Scott

I don't just play the trumpet because it's something that resonates with me: I play the trumpet because I realize it's a means to help free a lot of people that ain't free.

Christian Scott

My main horn is a hybrid of a flugelhorn a coronet and a trumpet, but that's really because, for me, each instrument to me had a different voice, and I liked them all, but I didn't like any one of them singularly.

Christian Scott

I wouldn't argue that anyone living can play the trumpet better than Wynton Marsalis.

Christian Scott

I have a singer, she's called Lara Caprotti. And then I have Stefano Serafini playing trumpet. The trumpet sounds amazing live in a club.

Christian Vieri

I started on the clarinet. I was going to a music school - my mother took me - and the guy said, 'What do you want to play?' I said the drums, and my mother said, 'No, you don't. You don't want to play the drums.' So I said, 'Maybe the trumpet would be cool.' And my mother said, 'I don't think so.' And then the clarinet was handed to me.

Christopher Guest

I'm a trumpet player, and I sing jazz.

Colin Salmon

I'm a trumpet player, so I always carry a pocket trumpet in case there's an opportunity to jam with the locals. I was in Guadeloupe last year filming 'Death in Paradise,' and I played all over the island and had the best time.

Colin Salmon

Driving a steamroller over an old trumpet or a teaspoon is no more destructive than taking a chisel to a lump of marble already torn from the landscape. But people don't see it that way because marble is considered noble.

Cornelia Parker

I just always wanted to play guitar. I though that was, like, really dope. And then in high school, I learned how to play trumpet and, like, French horn because if the instrument's right in front of me, I'm going to just teach myself.

Cuco

As time passed on, got to hear some players who were straight up funky, not just jazz. Nat Adderley, for instance - he's a funky trumpet player, so he was my man.

Cynthia Robinson

My father was a very big musical influence on me. He was a trumpet player. And that's what I started with. Then, when I was 7, my parents introduced me to the piano.

David Bryan

When I was 8 years old, there was a showcase of all the instruments you can learn at my school. This guy was playing the trumpet. I heard it and was like 'Oof I got to learn to play.' The sound - everything was amazing. I was blown away.

Dennis Lloyd

I think I sound like the apocalypse destroying the Earth to the sounds of trumpets skating across the heavens played by angels.

Denzel Curry

My uncle gave me a trumpet, but I loved the Louis Armstrong sound and the Harry James sound and I played by ear and I played always soulful or very direct from the gut.

Dick Dale

I can play every instrument there is, every horn, I've played all the saxes and trumpets and everything and keyboards.

Dick Dale

I still play jazz, and I've always got that trumpet very handy, but I'm coming to feel the classical venues are where my main focus is, in the realm of symphonic pops.

Doc Severinsen

On those long notes behind the trumpet solo, if anyone lets his mind wander for a minute he is dead.

Don Ellis

I skipped school one day to see Dizzy Gillespie, and that's where I met Coltrane. Coltrane and Jimmy Heath just joined the band, and I brought my trumpet, and he was sitting at the piano downstairs waiting to join Dizzy's band. He had his saxophone across his lap, and he looked at me and he said, 'You want to play?'

Donald Byrd

I can play the trumpet. Before I became an actor, I wanted to be the next Louis Armstrong. I started young and got to grade seven. When I turned 13, everyone started whipping out guitars, looking cool and joining rock bands, so I stopped playing.

Douglas Booth

I was in the band when I was a kid, I played the trumpet.

Drew Carey

Paddy Considine is a great friend of mine, and he is a natural actor because he is an artist, and I'm not an artist. If I ever blow my own trumpet, it's as a craftsman.

Eddie Marsan

The best part of the high school in Hastings must have been the Music Department. Its orchestra and concert band did well in county competitions, and the dance band formed by its students was the best in the region. I played lead trumpet in all of them.

Edmund Phelps
