25 Great Songs Featuring a Trumpet

The trumpet is less frequently used by producers, but is a great choice for achieving euphoric highs given the instrument’s high upper range. The muted trumpet (as used by Miles Davis) is a cool and sexy sound. Our 25 selections hit numerous genres including jazz, funk, Latin, hip hop, dance, ska, classical and more!
