To 80% of the people in the comments section: They are all playing with their own style. No one is "better" than the other, and none of them are trying to show off because they have no need to prove themselves - these four are among the most respected musicians in the world. They all trade and introduce their own sound which makes this fascinating to watch and listen to. We don't need wars in the comments section about who is "better" and who is "worse, " because at this level it is entirely subjective to the listener. If you prefer fast lines spanning from low F# to the double register, great. If you prefer slower moving lines with a more tender sound, also great. It is perfectly okay to state your preferences, but there is no need to hate on anyone for playing with their own style. We are all here because we enjoy listening to music, and many of us are trumpet players ourselves. There is no need for any hate here. Let's just enjoy watching these four legends create music.

Wynton, singing. Others, at the olympics. What a class in elegance and not getting bullied into leaving the fundamental element that makes this music eternal, SOUL.

Really loved this. 4 great players, 4 distinctive styles. Arturo always plays like he's getting paid by the note.

Jon Faddis fingerings are so clean, his fingers seem so calm as he's playing the most ridiculous lines..
Crazy combo to have them all on one stage together, mindblown.

Look, gang, these are the four greatest trumpet players alive today. We should be grateful that they're all roaming the earth at the same time. At various times, I've seen all four live in concert, and I like ALL FOUR equally! But Morrison was by far the best in concert. If you get a chance to see James Morrison live, DO IT!

[bfoster]

I love them They each have their own style and own them

[paulpagels]

Jon Faddis has such a beautiful sound! ❤

[charlesseiderman]

What a lineup! Can't understand why people who comment have to compare, and be judgemental. They're ALL great!

[clawboss]

They are all great. Wynton is the best at playing the blues, hands down.

I love watching John Faddis play. He makes it look so effortlesss and his technique is flawless.

[Alpha-wrft]

These four gentlemen are just down right Awesome !!! I just love listening to them play!! Bravo gentlemen, bravo !!!! ❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏

[stevefreedom]

That was the greatest trumpet music I've ever heard! Every single one of them was incredible! I just learned so much just from watching this. All four of them were truly Masters.

I love how James, Autoro, and Jon are blasting high notes and Wyntons just acting cool in the mid to to low register. Then at 13:35 he’s says enough is enough.

[Xaviervidal]

Arturo soloing at 13:35 without a mouthpiece is literally the most trumpet player thing of all time

[WestCoastJazzForever]

James Morrison!!!! His playing is really off the chart amazing, not only from a sound, power & compression stand point, but also, he is playing with heart & soul... Wow.

[nycboyforlife]

I hate it when people compare. Everyone of these geniuses bring their own style to the table.

[timcrespin]

James Morrison get props for the most velvet-sexy voice throughout the registers.

[Godtoh]

These gentlemen are amazing
I could not imagine going after any of them and each round they got better and better.
Just Brilliant.
