The man had a bad album...no need to question how good he is becuase he is REALLY good...i've seen him live and he is a damn good trumpet player...just listen to his version of "Carnival of Venice" and tell me he isn't good. But it is common knowledge from all of my trumpet buddies that Wynton does kinda suck at jazz and that his brother, Bradford is waay better at jazz...I would have to agree also.
