Looking for sad jazz music (trumpet)

[Riaan26]

Hi, I'm new to jazz music. I just love it. I usually enjoy punk rock but have decided to stretch my boundaries.

I have a proclivity for sad jazz music with trumpets, for example Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, something like that (track 3, "Blue in Green" is a good example and the kind of jazz that I'm after.)

Do you guys have some recommendations for me, please?

Thank You!
Riaan

Hi Riaan,
welcome to the forums! I love that sound too. Besides Miles and Chet, I can recommend Till Brönner especially at the album 'Oceana'.
Here's one song:

My belief - though not shared by everyone - is that jazz is essentially an uplifting music - traditional jazz is based on the blues, and the blues recognizes sadness even while defying and transcending it. The European style of jazz hones melancholy and sadness to a finer degree, especially much of the nebulous ECM style instrumental music that eschews any basis in the blues. My advice then - choose between bluesy based jazz or more melancholy music resembling jazz. Embrace and appreciate either, but recognize the essential characteristic difference between them. There's great music to be found in either direction. There are also artists who are well versed in the traditional bluesy aspects of jazz, but are able to translate them into their own vernacular.... Enrico Rava comes to mind, straddling the line between traditional and non-traditional, blues and melancholy, even applying subtle blends and shifts between the two directions. Yeah... check out Enrico Rava.

Ballads played by Bill Evans all have a bittersweet quality.

[Jeff Smith]

Kenny Wheeler gets a melancholy vibe happening in lots of his stuff.

Check out "It's All in the Game", Keith Jarrett from the Out of Towners album. Bums me out every time... but it is so beautiful.

I dunno why I didn't think of it before... the most beautiful "sad" jazz possible... Branford Marsalis Quartet's "Eternal".

Experimental, and not blues based (much freer), but if melancholy is what you want......

Oh... just realized the OP was specifically asking for trumpet. Sad trumpet... you should hear me play. Pretty sad.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum and I hope you don't mind my first post being a request.
I'm just getting into jazz and have musical tastes that run from classical to Eminem!
I was born in 1961 and when I was a lot younger, back in the early / mid 70s there was a late night TV program called Paris By Night, I think it was in black and white it's that long ago and was normally on @ 10:00 - in the UK that wouldn't have been much before the end of programs for the night I guess.
The theme tune has haunted me ever since then and is exactly the sort of jazz music I am looking for - late night walking through Paris a sort of "film noire" sound. I have spent a few hours looking through YouTube for it but no luck - does anyone know what it was called please?
If not, can anyone point me to anything of that genre svp?
Hoping to spend a lot more time here
Thanks
