Arguing "No" is Buck Clayton. In her autobiography and elsewhere, Billie Holiday referred to Buck Clayton as the most handsome man she ever met. In the video, he's the tall gentleman who looks like Billy Dee Williams' father. A distinguished man, Mr. Clayton would be at ease in the Huxtable living room discussing the virtues of the New Negro.
Arguing "Yes" is Charlie Shavers. His fans call him fire. His critics call him a show-off and grandstander. He's the short dude with the cap. He used to son Colt 45's on the regular while discussing the virtues of Notre Dame with his bookie.
Beyond the key debate, there's alot going on here. Does Buck hold his own? Is Shavers a show-off? Do short trumpeters have a chip on their shoulder? Do tall trumpeters have their hearts in it? You decide.
[As a neutral party, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King has agreed to referee from the drums.]

no. tall motherfuckers always win.
Don't front. Even Buck had to let out a yelp when Shavers started hitting them high notes (1:10). And he's not fooling anybody with that note squeezing stuff, neither. Once they start trading fours, Charlie left him feeling uncomfortable in awkward places.
That aside, they both do their thing though.
Do you have copy writer for so good articles? If so please give me contacts, because this really rocks! :)
One of my friends already told me about this place and I do not regret that I found this article.
