   I would suggest you listen to the following :-

   Clifford Brown :-
   The Complete Blue Note And Pacific Jazz Recordings rec’ 6/53 – 8/54 on Blue Note 34195 – 2 a 4 CD set, he never made a bad recording during his short time with us, ( 1930 – 56 ), imo but this is his core legacy.

   I’m gonna add Arturo Sandoval, Clifford Brown, Freddie Hubbard, and Lee Morgan to the list, because all of them are trumpet greats.

   I think if you are relatively new to jazz improv you should look into the greats that really emphasized feel and made the most out of playing simple but melodic lines. I would go with MILES, of course, but also the original LOUIS ARMSTRONG, CHET BAKER. My favorite of all time is DIZZY GILLESPIE but a couple of italian guys also I think are very good examples, check them out at the link below:

   I hope this helps!
