"One thing: the mouthpiece is the small bell-shaped part. The other, great big, bell shaped part is called "the bell" and is where the music comes out. Blowing in there wouldn't do much of anything except make you look foolish."

You mean, you blow in here, the music goes 'round and 'round, then it comes out here?

"Listen to Wynton Marsalis, Bix Beidebeck, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker, Lee Morgan, Bunk Johnson, Joe (King) Oliver, Max Kaminsky, Freddie Keppard, Muggsy Spanier, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Maynard Ferguson, Clark Terry, Kenny Dorham, and don't miss Arturo Sandoval"

Thank you for the suggestions, Stringsinger. I like most of the trumpeters you've mentioned and there are a couple of names new to me.
