I'd just say that relative to Wynton Marsalis ( yeah, with roughly
40 years difference so totally no fair ) it's a lot less expressive

IMO, only 
Wynton is a fine player, very technically proficient, probably a
stronger jazzer than Doc but I don't think he could play that Chimes
Festival arrangement the way Doc did if his life depended on it. I
don't think any other player on the planet could.
Probably not. But IMO, we were talking about recording trumpet and
Wynton's tone will tend to be less strident.
But Doc grew up in the commercial world, where Wynton's experience
was much more of jazz as a conservatory form. It's almost different
planets.
That shows a lot more tonal range than I am used to from him.
You want to hear variety of tonal color eh? Here 'ya go. An iconic
Doc recording - all the way from the bottom of the horn to Eb over
double C. He used to do this live in concert.
