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

Music,Moonlight and Memories by the Jackie Gleason Orchestra is Bachelor or cocktail jazz  which features probably the sweetest sounding,mellow trumpet played by ex hard bopper Bobby Hackett you can imagine. Hackett wrote most of Gleason's material.

For saxophone give Boney James a try.

Here's a couple for Trumpet. Both are disciples of Miles,his influence is all over their style.
Nils Petter Molvear. Try Streamer or Baboon Moon
