I take it you are a jazz trumpet player based in NY. I hope you get more than "a few pennies" for your work on record, but I agree the outlook is bleak.

Even when the record industry was at its peak, though, I doubt many musicians made much from it. Even the most famous ones, from Ella to Rachmaninov, had to stick to brutally heavy schedules of live gigs to pay the rent. And those live gigs began to dry up the day talkies replaced the silent movies.
