    Woody Shaw comes to my mind...his early session work would fit the bill
    Edit: though Freddie Hubbard early 60s sessions are a more obvious pick. Both good

    2nd this, if your not familiar with either your in for a treat. Too many great sideman sessions to list but to get your feet wet try Blue’s Moods and Una Mas.

    The following Blue Mitchell releases are must-haves:

    Blue Soul
    The Cup Bearers
    Big 6
    A Sure Thing
    Out of the Blue

    I'll add that on Blue Soul (recorded September 1959), the band covers a Benny Golson composition entitled Minor Vamp. This same composition is captured on a May 1956 recording (Blues-ette) by Curtis Fuller (with Golson and a young Jimmy Garrison before he settled with 'Trane!). Mitchell's version (without Golson, but with Fuller, Jimmy Heath, Wynton Kelly, Sam Jones and Philly Joe) absolutely blows the 1956 version out of the water. IMO, Sam Jones' diggin' in has much to do with this.

    Listening to Blue Soul now. And yeah, it's hitting the spot for sure.

    Philly Joe is killing it.

    I like the Donald Byrd and KD recommendations the best for ya. One thing though if you want the hard bop you should look to earlier in their careers. These guys went through many phases w the times. Check out Dorham "jazz contrasts" on riverside. Max roach and sonny Rollins on it....

    Charles Tolliver might be another good choice.

    Lon's rec for Blue & Kenny is spot on. For Blue I'd recommend Bring It Home To Me from '66 in addition to those mentioned by Archtop. For Kenny, Quiet Kenny & Round About Midnight At the Cafe Bohemia. I love the front line of Blue Mitchell & Junior Cook, as did Horace Silver b/c he employed them on several of his albums (Finger Poppin', Blowin' the Blues Away & Horace-Scope to name a few).

    Let me also add Harry "Sweets" Edison as another trumpet player to scope out. The Swinger is a good one.

    Those are all great trumpeters. . . . His request though was for "hard bop" trumpeters and I'd not consider those greats "hard boppers!"

    Bobby's mention of Horace Silver above is a good one. . . exploring his catalog can lead to the discovery of a number of great players including trumpeters playing in the hard bop manner including the so far unmentioned Art Farmer and Randy Becker. And a number of great saxophonists.

    The Tolliver Strata-East Mosaic Select set is phenomenal: the compositions, the playing, everything about it is excellent.

    Blues In Trinity is wonderful, but I need to check out Soundin' Off, his quartet release.

    I've got Soundin' Off on Classic Records and Star Bright on Music Matters. I'm on the lookout for a reasonably priced copy of Blues in Trinity. Great records.
