Favorite trumpet/trombone doublers

Always been interested in doubling myself, ever since I found out that one isn't really "locked in" or "stuck" on whatever they play.
Who are some of your favorite, or day I say, best-of-all-time, trumpet/trombone doublers? Could be sound overall, technique, improv style, you name it. Of course any other doubling is welcome.

Haha was just gonna edit to OP to say... of course Dorsey and Maynard

Looking especially for some of the lesser-known or lesser-renowned guys out there.

James Morrison

Wycliffe Gordon (though he sounds like a trombone player playing trumpet)

Cheers,
Andy

Dan Barrett doubles on cornet and trombone-- often on the same albums.

Gene Roland. Also played piano, saxophone, and mellophonium (in Kenton's band) in addition to composing and arranging.

My favourite doublers on trumpet(cornet)/trombone were great mates:

Dan Barrett
Also a superb arranger.

Tom Baker (unfortunately and sadly for Australia, now gone for sixteen years)
Tom was originally a trumpet player but also excelled at the saxophone, the clarinet and the bass tuba. In fact, the trombone was the last passion in his life and I thought he was an absolute knock out!

I first came across Tom in the late 1980s and he helped to forge my regained interest in playing jazz trombone. I used to go to see his band at the Strawberry Hill Hotel in Sydney on a regular basis.

He often toured Europe with his old mate Dan Barrett:
