The Greatest Trumpet of Them All is an album by trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie featuring Benny Golson recorded in 1957 and released on the Verve label.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review states "For many other jazz musicians this would be a "good" or even "fine" effort, but Dizzy Gillespie has recorded too much classic music for this disappointment to rate very high". Although the Fresh Sound CD has better sound quality than the LP [2]
