Louis Armstrong is among the greatest trumpeters in the world. He’s most likely the only one that everyone has heard of. This is because he is the first name to pop up when the phrase “greatest trumpet player” is plugged into a search engine. This said, many lists available on the internet place Louis Armstrong at the number one spot.

The general consensus is that he is the best trumpet player in history. In the world? Well, that opens up a whole list of people, such as Dizzy Gillespie, Clifford Brown, Harry James, and Miles Davis from history. From contemporary music, trumpeters such as Arturo Sandoval, Wynton Marsalis, and Alison Balsom come up in the list of “greatest trumpet player in the world.”
