If you're into European orchestras and instrumental soloists, this is a CD series you should keep an eye out for.
At least half a dozen volumes of Golden Instrumentals were released on the Pilz label from Germany in the early 1990s. They were sold, cheaply, in Canada (and possibly the U.S.) in discount stores (Wal-Mart, etc.). All have long since been deleted of course, but they still turn up in the bins at thrift and CD stores.
This is volume 3 of the series and spotlights trumpet players like Serbian Milo (Milorad) Pavlovic, who played with the Clarke-Boland Big Band, Kurt Edelhagen Orchestra and the SFB Big Band. He has several selections on Golden Instrumentals, including a version of Bert Kaempfert's Wonderland by Night.

Many of the recordings from the Golden Instrumental series are available as downloads from iTunes and Amazon. Volume 3 appears on both services under the title Die Goldene Trompete (The Golden Trumpet).
If you go to this page on Myspace you can watch an excellent video of the Milo Pavlovic Big Band performing in Berlin in 1981.
