I think that I have to go with Raphael Mendez, closely followed by Maurice Andre, Herbert Clark,Sergei Nakariakov, Del Steiger, and a host of British cornetists from a way back in history.
Wait wait, I take that back. I forgot about Sergei Nakariakov. For being so young and so darn good. How old is the guy now, mid to late 20s? _________________ Not all who wander are lost
Here are my lists, not my greatest player. I don’t think you can say just one. I listed people who had, or are having, a great influence on my life. Some of them you have heard of, and some maybe you haven’t, but in one way or another they have shaped the way I think about playing the trumpet
Maurice Andre
Wayne Bergeron
Bill Chase
Gary Dobbins
Jon Faddis
Maynard Ferguson
Armando Ghitalla
Bud Herseth
Arturo Sandoval
Adel Sanchez
Gerard Schwarz
Doc Severinson
Edward Tarr
Roger Voisin
John Wright
As a teacher I wanted to include these 4 gentleman because of their great influence not only on me, but also on my teachers.
Vincent Cichowicz
Gary Dobbins
John Haynie
John Wright
I also would want to recognize the some men changed, or who I think are still trying to change, the way that we make trumpets. As a player I own, or have owned, instruments made by these men in my quest to find the perfect trumpet.
Vincent Bach
Jerome Callet
Jason Harrelson
Zig Kanstul
Reynold Schilke
And some day I will own a horn made by Leigh McKinney. I consider him and Jason Harrelson to be perhaps the two greatest trumpet designers of all time. _________________ "To be a teacher you need to be as good a performer as you can be: you'll have more to impart to your students musically." - John Haynie

Hey Lou,
Who is Del Steiger? That's a name I don't know.

I agree with the above post. Hopefully there are no Wynton bashers on this site.
I won't bash anyone who is a better player than I'll ever be, but I'm not a Wynton fan. I really like his father and brother, but I do not think that Wynton has done all that he could do to promote music. I have always found him to be looking out for himself more than he looks out for music in general.
His father is a wonderful man who has gone out of his way to promote music and music education. Being from Louisiana I'll go to my grave loving Ellis forall he has done for the young people of our state.
