Agree with all the comments here. Genius first trumpet is so very true.

With that, I can speak first hand about the guy playing second and picc trumpet on that WWS recording, Phil Ruecktenwald. Having studied with Phil for several years in the 90s I can tell you that he was not only a monster player, with amazing technique and tone but more importantly he was an amazing person. Down to earth and would go to all extremes to help you.
