For smooth, agree with David Sanborn, would also check out early Spyro Gyra... a good place to start are the albums “Catching the Sun” or “Carnaval”. Would also try “Wizard Island” by the Jeff Lorber Fusion, or “Breezin” by George Benson.
in the straight ahead vein, I would suggest “Covered” by the Robert Glasper Trio, anything by Billy Taylor, “Time Out” by the Dave Brubeck quartet, “Ballads” by John Coltrane, or “The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery.
not all of these are strictly trumpet or saxophone records, but all are melodic, relaxed, and accessible.
