description: "Freddie Webster was a jazz trumpeter who, Dizzy Gillespie once said, \"had the best sound on trumpet since the trumpet was invented--just alive and full of life.\" He is perhaps best known for being cited by Miles Davis as an early influence. Bebop figure Babs Gonzales recalled that \"Freddie [was] the best trumpet player I ever heard in my life. Until his death, Freddie was never understood; yet he was a great musician: Miles owes his sound to him.\""
