KJOSStandard Of Excellence for Jazz Ensemble 4th Trumpet
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 4th trumpet part book from KJOS's Standard of Excellence jazz ensemble series. For filling a fourth chair or replacing one lost part.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Filling the fourth trumpet chair in a school big band
- Replacing a single missing part without rebuying the set
- Younger players ready for a supporting line, not lead
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lead players — this is the bottom trumpet part
- Anyone who needs the score or the full ensemble set
- Small combos running a single trumpet
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Bb trumpet part
Transposed for Bb horn. Read against a concert-pitch part and everything lands a step off.
Detail 03
Jazz ensemble scoring
Written as one voice inside a section voicing, so it sounds thin and aimless played alone.
Detail 04
Single part book
One player's copy. No score, no other sections, no way to see how the chart fits together.
Detail 05
$15.99 per part
Priced per chair. Assembling a full band from single books costs considerably more than buying a set.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 4th trumpet the hardest part?
No. First trumpet is the demanding chair for range and endurance. Fourth sits lowest and holds down the bottom of the section's harmony.
02Can I play a 4th trumpet part on cornet or flugelhorn?
Yes. Both are pitched in Bb and read the same part. The tone is darker, so check with your director about section blend.
03What's the difference between the 3rd and 4th trumpet books?
Chair position within the voicing. Third sits above fourth. The books contain different notes and are sold separately, so buy the chair you're assigned.
04Can this substitute for a missing 2nd trumpet part?
Not really. Each chair carries different notes in the chord. Doubling fourth where second is written leaves a gap in the voicing.
