Fine trumpet , alto sax recordings?

I have some new speakers, and I am looking for good recordings of trumpet and alto sax. I picked up Chris Botti's To Love Again . I do love the purity and tonality of his playing. I also bought a ,close your ears, Kenny G album. Lol...
So I looking for more smoothe jazz styles for now. I do enjoy more straight ahead Jazz, but want to try a couple of albums with a more relaxed feel.
Are Botti and Kenny a good place to start?
Sacd's are welcome too.
Is trumpet,alto sax, and symbols , the best instruments to test the highs of my Raal tweeter?
Thanks,
Todd

Two somewhat lesser known recordings that come to mind.

Frank Morgan - Listen to the Dawn - beautifully recorded on Verve in early 90's - much of it duets with Kenny Burrell.

Helen Merrill - Brownie: A Tribute to Clifford Brown - also recorded in 90's on Verve. Helen Merrill singing with a stunning trumpet choir consisting of Roy Hargrove, Lew Soloff, Wallance Roney and Tom Harrel - a unique and beautiful sound and stupendous recording.
