I think that the issue is a generational one. In fairness, I can't remember the last hit that had a trumpet solo on it. You've pretty much got to go back to maybe Herb Alpert before you can remember a trumpet player having anything to do with modern music. Maybe 'Rise' was about the last thing it had any great importance on.
Piano, though... plenty of those still on the charts!
Hmmm, Diki mebbe you want to revisit that view
Quite a few modern tunes use trumpet, quite noticeably so..I cannot think of names of tunes right now, (but if you wanted proof I am sure I could spend a little time and find the names for you.
just coz the songs don't play on the US radio doesn't mean they are not being recorded, released and been popular...
