Long celebrated for his incredible musicality and technical prowess, Faddis is in the pantheon of the greatest trumpeters in jazz history. Mentored by Dizzy Gillespie early in his career, Faddis absorbed the styles of many of the great trumpeters, forging his own distinctive style and having a similar enduring influence. “Faddis is a trumpet player of prodigious lyrical force,” reports the Chicago Tribune. At the same time, The Guardian adds, “His sheer power and command are astonishing—Faddis takes trumpet playing to an entirely new level.”
