you might be right...sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.....
I am opting for the possibility of Warren Luening being one of the brass players..after doing some research, it seems he was active on the Hollywood scene at least from 1958...
He, as a young man, played on the Lawrence Welk show(a big band on tv) from 1958 to 1960.
There are clips on youtube of him playing in this orchestra and being featured... and so my vote for one of the possible trumpet players goes to Mr .Luening on the 1967 A&M album "Reach Out"
"I'm reaching out)lol

I wrote this so far:
Tra i papabili trombettisti che presero parte alle sessions dell’album circolano i nomi giganti di Dominic Spera ,Warren Leuning, Marvin Stamm. Aggiungerei anche Herb Alpert e la sua tromba già usata per la colonna sonora del film Casino royale. Probabile anche la partecipazione della zia di Dionne Warwich Cissy Houston (madre di Whitney Houston) come vocalist.
which means in few words: as possible popes on trumpet we guess Spera, Leuning and Stamm
besides, I still have a feeling that Alpert could have done some job
Cissy Houston as vocalist
