Best smooth vocal jazz albums with flugelhorn/ trumpet/ saxophone accompaniment

Hi, I'm a newbie at this hobby and my musical tastes are changing as my audio system gets better. Right now I'm really into smooth jazz vocal albums preferably with flugelhorn/ trumpet/ saxophone playing along and was wondering what some of the better recordings are. I have had no prior experience in this genre of music, and am looking for something that can really make my audio system sing (Devialet Phantom gold duo). Thanks in advance

I would suggest Art Pepper’s Meet the Rhythm Section. Old school and very much the tip of a massive audio iceberg. Enjoy the discovery!

I'm not sure where I even got the cut but Chris Botti plays with Natalie Merchant on the song "Wonder". It is a live recording and one of the best live recordings I have. Maybe another member can ID the album/performance it came from. The end of the cut features Botti in a timeless riff on a horn (trumpet?) of some kind.
