      Maybe his signature, but did he ever play it at a gig? I think I am trying to avoid those songs where they recorded umpteen takes to get an ungoddly good track, that isn't even really the main attraction(its a theme for a movie). There are a bunch of songs out there like Penny Lane or High Hopes:

          @georgeb Eddie Calvert seems to be the trumpet player most associated with Cherry Pink.

            In the US the Prado version was released in 1955 before Calvert's, and featured Billy Regis on trumpet. It went to number one on the US Billboard chart . A couple of months later in the United Kingdom, Calvert released his version and it went to the top of the charts there for something like four or five months. I actually liked both versions but I had already bought the Prado record by then.

              Do any of the Funk trumpet players get credit? Ain't it Funky is slick, and Jungle Boogie:

              I've been looking at the Jamaican Ska, horn players, but it doesn't look like they crossed over into the US.

                I think that horn part was actually a trombone.

                Here is a cool clip James Brown's band opening with Sidewinder: https://youtu.be/BMELadyJK-8?t=343.

                    How about Java, by Al Hirt?
                    He really had some chops. I am not saying he necessarily needed his full arsenal on Java, but it really put him into the popular mainstream

                      Actually, I was confused the comp part was trumpet, but the solo was a trombone. I was confused I a solo transcription for the Trombone when I was trying to find the Trumpet music.

                      It appears to be "Kush" Griffith on the trumpet and James even refers to him in the song. Play Kush's part, so Kush can play his horn.

                      Though, maybe just a studio recording.

                          I played that lp so much that the tracks are worn. Good choice, j-jericho
