We continue our series today. We will recognize the Trumpet Players in Beach Music. To date, there have not been any trumpet players that have received the CBMA Instrumentalist of the Year. We love to see the bands that have a great horn section. As we tune in to the best music in the world once again on The Edge Radio Show, please list the trumpet players in beach music that you would like to recognize.

How about Joe Sizemore, Richard “Stick” Robertson, and Jeff Swafford….got to be there!!
Hey Bo! You do know that Jeff Swafford was in the US Army Band for a while as well as having been a music major at USC. That dude can BLOW!!
He should probably be raised significantly higher in your rankings!!
As stated at the top of the list – listed based on the order they were submitted. I am not about to attempt to rank these guys based on talent. I tried to post in my list everyone that was mentioned here on the website and in facebook posts.
You need to add Mike Brown (The Entertainers) to the list.
Is there any other trumpet player besides Jim Quick lol he has my vote.
“BigTime”‘s Tracy King is not only an awesome trumpet player, he’s also a great vocalist. As a member of the CBMA Hall Of Fame for his early years with “The Castaways”, his talent has stood out for many years in “Beach Music”. He also played trumpet and sang with the “Fabulous Daddy O’s” before they disbanded and him joining “BigTime”!!
Mike Brown of The Entertainers Band
Chase Bunton – The Extraordinaires! All the way from BB King’s band in Nashville to The Extraordinaires!
