==Notable players== {{unreferenced section|date=September 2018}} [[Joe Bishop]], as a member of the [[Woody Herman]] band in 1936, was one of the earliest jazz musicians to use the flugelhorn. [[Shorty Rogers]] and [[Kenny Baker (trumpeter)|Kenny Baker]] began playing it in the early fifties, and [[Clark Terry]] used it in [[Duke Ellington]]'s orchestra in the mid-1950s. [[Chet Baker]] recorded several albums on the instrument in the 1950s and 1960s. [[Miles Davis]] further popularized the instrument in jazz on the albums ''[[Miles Ahead (album)|Miles Ahead]]'' and ''[[Sketches of Spain]]'', (both arranged by [[Gil Evans]]) though he did not use it much on later projects. Other prominent flugelhorn players include [[Donald Byrd]], Freddy Buzon, [[Freddie Hubbard]], [[Tom Browne (trumpeter)|Tom Browne]], [[Lee Morgan]], [[Bill Dixon]], [[Wilbur Harden]], [[Art Farmer]], [[Roy Hargrove]], [[Randy Brecker]], [[Hugh Masekela]], [[Feya Faku]], [[Tony Guerrero]], Gary Lord, [[Jimmy Owens (musician)|Jimmy Owens]], [[Maynard Ferguson]], [[Terumasa Hino]], [[Woody Shaw]], [[Bobby Shew]], [[Guido Basso]], [[Kenny Wheeler]], [[Tom Harrell]], [[Bill Coleman (trumpeter)|Bill Coleman]], [[Thad Jones]], [[Arturo Sandoval]], [[Lee Loughnane]] of the rock band [[Chicago (band)|Chicago]], [[Roddy Lorimer]] of the [[Kick Horns]], [[Mike Metheny]], [[Harry Beckett]], [[Till Brönner]] and [[Ack van Rooyen]]. Most jazz flugelhorn players use the instrument as an auxiliary to the trumpet, but in the 1970s [[Chuck Mangione]] gave up playing the trumpet and concentrated on the flugelhorn alone, notably on his [[Jazz fusion#Jazz pop|jazz-pop]] hit song "[[Feels So Good (composition)|Feels So Good]]". Mangione, in an interview on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] during the [[1980 Winter Olympics]], for which he wrote the theme "[[Give It All You Got]]", referred to the flugelhorn as "the right baseball glove".{{Citation needed|date=May 2020}} Pop flugelhorn players include Probyn Gregory ([[Brian Wilson]] Band), Ronnie Wilson of [[The Gap Band]], [[Rick Braun]], [[Mic Gillette]], [[Jeff Oster]], Zach Condon of the band [[Beirut (band)|Beirut]], [[Scott Spillane]] of the band [[Neutral Milk Hotel]], [[Terry Kirkman]] of the band [[The Association]], Annie Chappell and [[Rashawn Ross]] of the [[Dave Matthews Band]].
