Great clips! Thanks. And what a blast from the past! I was there for that date at the Vanguard! I’m showing my age. Had just moved to Fla to go to college and was back in NY for a family wedding and a HS buddy took me to hear Dexter on his big return from Europe. Fantastic night.
One of my very favorite trumpet players with a very distinctive style that always struck me as “saxophonic”. Almost Coltranish in the way he used a lot of wide intervals in his phrases; less linear than most other trumpet players. I posted this a while back; Kenny Garrett sounds wonderful:

On the Blakey big band clip (great!), besides the featured players I recognized:
Trumpets: Randy Brecker, Mike Mossman
Bones: Robin Eubanks, Slide Hampton
Saxophones: Bobby Watson, Billy Pierce, George Adams, Jimmy Heath (?)
