The album is called 'Carnaval' and WM is accompanied by the superb Eastman
Wind Ensemble.  It was released on the CBS label, number 42137 in 1987.

A lot depends on what you consider to be the 'classic' cornet sound, if
there is such a thing.  IMHO this is one of the all-time great brass solo
albums - fantastic technique, oodles of panache, and great arrangements.  As
far as sound is concerned, Marsalis sounds better on cornet than probably
any other trumpet player I've heard but he's not a
McCann/Morrison/Marshall/McCulloch to name but four.
