Hmm, sort of a compromise between Flug and Tpt.

Cornets are actually enjoying a bit of a renaissance on the NYC
jazz scene. Dave Douglas, one of the most influential and
critically acclaimed trumpet players of the past ten years, has
switched from trumpet to cornet as his primary instrument. He was
following in the footsteps of a lot of lesser-known but well-
regarded local players -- guys like Taylor Ho Bynum, who made the
switch several years ago. Of course, jazz has always had a few
cornet holdouts (like Thad Jones), but I've seen a big increase in
the number of dedicated jazz cornet players in NYC just over the
past 4 years.

The problem is actually that the trumpet has become the all-
purpose instrument, needed for orchestral work, jazz band work,
and marching band work. The cornet, especially one played with
the proper mouthpiece and technique, is a vanishing voice out of
choice, and not because instruments are not available.
