I am not a Billy Joel fan at all but I give him credit for turning me on to jazz. He had a song in the late 70s called “Zanzibar” that had two brief but spine-tingling trumpet solos. The trumpeter (the late great Freddie Hubbard) was credited on the album. I ran out and bought a couple of his albums and that set me on a journey of discovery that led to Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie and so on.

You might like the trumpet solo in this Gregory Porter song (starts at about 4:45). It reminds me somewhat of the trumpet in “Zanzibar.”
