Solo trumpet CDs are pretty rare. And the music on them especially, often very experimental, looking and searching for the extreme extended sounds you can get out of the instrument or looking for microtonal or electronically distorted possibilities. If you are an adventurer, you will like to listen to some of the records below. Markus Stockhausen and Hugh Ragin are the most accessible. Some of them are plain weird, and will only be of interest to trumpeters who are looking for interesting new angles.

Did you ever get the chance to look up Kozo Ikeno (Post 10 on 27 October 2008)?
I was about to say that you're totally missing some Dave Douglas but then re-read that it was for "solo" trumpet... :)

As an addendum : you can download Kozo Ikeno's CD Overlooks for free on the labels website : http://www.stasisfield.com/releases/year03/sf-3004.html
leo smith's culture jazz
one of my favourites, maybe you didn't count it as solo?
Correct, it's a solo album, but not solo trumpet, hence it's not in the list.
Thanks for the suggestion
