Check out trombonist Wycliffe Gordon and if you get a chance to see him live don't miss it! Anything by Clifford Brown is worth checking out too. For a lesson on ensemble playing try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS-NponTvYw. I could go on about jazz for a long time but one last (Jazz) recommendation is Paolo Fresu: Carla Bley The Lost Chords find Paolo Fresu. Check Fresu out at an NPR Tiny Desk concert :http://www.npr.org/event/music/178421346/omar-sosa-paolo-fresu-tiny-desk-concert?autoplay=true

To hear the real power of multiple brass instruments listen to the Eastman Wind Ensemble conducted by Frederick Fennell on the Mercury Living Presence release"British and American Band Classics" , specifically track 7, William Walton's "Crown Imperial".

This Rusty Dedrick album was recommended by LFF on headfi several years ago. It's dirt cheap and a total gem imo: http://www.amazon.com/Salute-Bunny-Berigan-Dedrick-All-Stars/dp/B0000001BU/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_1

Try Bachs BWV 249 the natural trumpets will blow u away. And u get a music masterpiece to boot.

Being British seeing brass band music had my thoughts turn to the real thing. Perhaps see this to see what I mean.

Yes this type of band was often a colliery band but not all of them. For me it's in the family and my father played in a similar "silver" band as most are now, silver plated brass rather than cheaper basic brass instruments, which started out as a church band. Band contests were all over the country and fiercely contested as the film shows. Grimely colliery on the film but actually Grimethorpe Colliery Band.
Try Black Dyke (Mills) band as an example, See You tube. Brighouse & Rastrick, etc

Yes I'm promoting this style of music, it's very under rated.
All on YouTube

Didn't realise there was a content limit so adding these.

Wynton Marsalis covers a lot of ground and for interesting jazz try
Nils Petter Molvaer - trumpet
Nils Langren - trombone (Wolfgang Haffner with the NDR Big Band)
John Fedchock - trombone

On YouTube

If you're interested in some progressive New Orleans brass band tunes, try Trombone Shorty's (Troy Andrews) stuff. His band is Orleans Avenue, and he calls their music super funk. You can also see him play on the HBO series Treme. Have fun.
