I fully understand your choices but if you like to see blood flow,a cutting session between Lee Morgan & Freddie Hubbard is exactly what the Surgeons would recommend.
As a side bar,although I consider Miles Davis a superior jazzman, I've grown and have concluded that Lee Morgan,Freddie Hubbard,and Clark Terry are better trumpters.
Freddie and Lee did face off in the album "A Night with the Cookers"
although that album is very disappointing.

Freddie was my favorite player for the last two years or so (especially his work from the 60's and 80's) but in the last few months, Chet Baker has been dominating my cd player and lift lists, with Lee following closely behind.

If you want an amazing Freddie jam session, look for "Live at the left bank" it is from 1965, the cover of the cd is purple (there is a yellow one as well which is a great cd, but not as good as this one). It is one of my favorite Freddie albums. The fact that it is live wows me everytime I listen to it.

Edit: Here is the lee, freddie jam
