There are many types of trumpets as far as pitch goes however I shall just give examples of Bb trumpets here as they are the most common ones.
It can be used in many styles of music from orchestral to jazz and wind/brass band. Although they do not use trumpets in brass bands, they use the conical cornet instead.
The instrument is capable of great power and also great beauty.
When used in a big band they are exceptional as a team of 4.
Here used as a fanfare.
Here used to show it's melodic capabilities.
These examples shows it's technical possibilities.
Here in a Big Band setting (posted elsewhere on SOS)this just shows what you can do!
