I never mind sharing good whiskey but if I opened that Blending House up to peeps on here there'd be nothing left to bottle!

Not on Qobuz or Tidal. Checked on Amazon... $127 for a new CD!Troy Andrews aka Trombone Shorty. Most know him for his New Orleans style funk/jazz/soul but his album released under the Troy Andrews Quintet is worth a listen. Might be hard to find.
Scored a used VG condition one for $12.99!
I think this is gonna be a good one...
Featuring: Ellis Marsalis, Jason Marsalis, Irvin Mayfield, Kermitt Ruffins, John Boutte, Michael Pellera & Bill Huntington This highly anticipated Modern Jazz recording of Troy's original compositions and Jazz standards is destined to turn the jazz world upside down. A double-threat on both Trombone and Trumpet, his tone, phrasing & timing will be compared to the greats.

You're going to need a bigger desk.

It took forever to find one just the right size. No full size components here. (offscreen, to the left is my downsize-for-retirement setup, big TV etc).
MagPi, MMB2 soon, Eta Mini C when I get some opens in the other place...

Oh, wow! I have that carefully extracted from the DVD (BluRay?) of that TV show, which was fantastic (Studio 60).

I can tell you my favorite *living* trumpeters are: Ambrose Akinmusire, Adam O'Farrill, Jonathan Finlayson. We all love the classics, but listening to and supporting new players is how the music keeps developing. Album recommendations: Owl Song (led by Akinmusire), Cloudward (led by Mary Halvorson, superb performance by O'Farrill), 3 Times Round (led by Finlayson).A'ight, I'm spinning Donald Byrd's 'Royal Flush' at work while I wait for my work homies to make their Single Barrel selections and I'm curious:
Who is everyone's most favoritest trumpeter?
Five-year-ago Me would have instantly answered Miles Davis* and then drawn a blank on anyone else, but that was before a friend introduced me properly (via original pressing Blue Note records he spun on a custom VPI 'table with a Soundsmith cart) to the Blue Note Records roster of legends.
Now my foremost answer has to be Lee Morgan. Every note he blows is sublimity itself. He is the lone atom at the tip of the tip of the spear of history's trumpet blowers, in my mind.
Secondary and tertiary choices, if I was forced to, might be Byrd followed by Hubbard. Maybe.
Anyway, I'm all ears!
*I still adore Miles Davis but for me he exists on another plain from everyone else and not solely because of his blowing skills on a trumpet. His greatness lies, in my view, on his overall style and the impact he had on jazz (and fusion) itself over many eons. Hell, he pretty much directly created many of those eons himself just through the force of his will! He will always be goat for that, but not necessarily for the way he worked a trumpet. IN MY OPINION, of course.

Stretch music is so, so, so good, one of my favorite albums ever.
I've seen him each of the last two years, he brings a great group and Weedie Braimah adds so much to the live shows.

Excellent choices! I'm still in awe of the last time I heard Kenny Garrett & band at SFJAZZ, playing some of that music. I'm not sure I ever heard Holland, Eubanks, and Calvaire together, but I've heard them many times in various combinations. Calvaire is one of my current favorite drummers (with Tyshawn Sorey, and, always, Brian Blade).Tonight's 2 Jazz recommendations...
