Although the baritone horn is similar to the trumpet in both appearance and mechanics, it falls far short of its smaller brother in terms of hipster credentials. Miles and Lee Morgan did not play baritones, they played trumpets. But don't be too disrespectful of the baritone because it has important connections to the military. While the trumpet was partying in swinging clubs and smoky jam sessions, the baritone was waking up early to practice marching with the army drum and bugle corps. And in the case of marching bands which would not allow trombones, the baritone offered a similar tonal range without the possibility of the trombone slide flying across the field. Indeed, while the trumpet was slumming, the baritone upheld the precision and discipline of the red, white and baritone blue.
