This "Trumpet Summit" is one of many summits organized by Jim Harrison between 1966 and 1970 at the Club Ruby in Jamaica, Queens, the Club Afro-Disiac, also in Jamaica, and at the Marc Ballroom in Union Square in Manhattan. However the only one that seems to have been recorded is this one from 1968. It was released bt Trip Records, a label that mostly focused on low budget re-issues, and was titled "A Trumpet Tribute", a tribute to Fats Navarro, Clifford Brown and Booker Little.

Press reviews

"This album is hard-bop heaven for trumpeters.

The presence of so much concentrated brass firepower naturally brings out the competitive spirit.

Shaw-23 at the time-dazzles with explosive pentatonics. His work on an uptempo version of “What’s New” answers the song’s title with a conception that would eventually solidify his place as an innovator. Dorham, on "Bags Grooove" and "Confirmtion", shows off his mastery of bop's harmonic language. You can hear now he had influenced Shaw at the time [...]"
