Jazz Lead Trumpet Mouthpieces

Jazz Lead Z – The Vizzutti-Inspired Killer
Rim: 15.88mm / .625" | Throat: 3.65mm #27 This is the apex predator of lead mouthpieces — based on the legendary Allen Vizzutti rim diameter but supercharged with a slightly longer cylindrical section in the backbore and a sharper V-shaped cup for surgical precision and brutal efficiency. Feel the lock-in: sustained highs and screaming louds slot effortlessly, with explosive projection that slices through any section like a hot knife. The V-cup delivers bright, piercing brilliance and pinpoint articulation, while the extended cylindrical backbore adds core punch and air support for endless endurance — play all night in the stratosphere without fatigue. Stainless steel transfers every ounce of your buzz with instant response, maximum power, and zero loss. If you demand extreme volume, laser-focused control, and the ability to own the high register with comfort and authority, the Z will make you the undisputed commander. Pure fire for big band leads, commercial burns, and any chart that requires total domination.

Jazz Lead J – The Shew-Inspired Powerhouse
Rim: 16.18mm / .638" | Throat: 3.65mm #27 Built on the iconic Bobby Shew foundation — that traditional, secure rim players swear by — but opened up with a slightly more expansive backbore and a deeper U-shaped cup compared to our other leads. This creates a massive core of sound that roars with warmth and weight, even in the extreme upper register. Projection? Devastating. You get big, bold tone that fills the room and cuts through brass sections like thunder, while the U-cup and open backbore keep everything easy and free-blowing — no choking, no thinness, just sustained power and endurance for long, punishing lead gigs. Stainless steel ensures your embouchure stays fresh, your attacks snap, and your highs lock in with effortless command. For players who want huge core presence, rich projection, and the ability to dominate extended high-range playing without compromise — this is your throne. Command the band, own the night.

Jazz Lead S – The Shallow Screamer Hybrid
Rim: 16.35mm / .644" | Throat: 3.65mm #27 The ultimate shallow-cup screamer — a wicked blend of Shew and Vizzutti backbores fused with a very shallow U-shaped cup for maximum brightness, speed, and altitude. This is built for players who need to unleash on the highest, loudest parts but don't live there every day — pure adrenaline for occasional scorched-earth leads. The shallow cup delivers lightning-fast response, crystal-clear slotting, and blinding highs that project with ferocious edge, while the hybrid backbore keeps enough air and core to avoid thinness. It's easier on the chops than ultra-shallow screamers, but warns: if you tend to bottom out, this might not be your daily driver — it's for when you need to slay the stratosphere and leave jaws on the floor. Stainless steel amps the efficiency: instant power, brutal volume, and endurance that lets you push limits without collapse.

When the chart calls for screaming highs, razor articulation, and unstoppable projection — grab the Z and show them who's boss. These three form the ultimate lead arsenal — smaller rim for tight support, #27 throat for focused compression with impact, and custom cups/backbores that make sustained highs feel effortless. All in one-piece stainless steel (or titanium) for lifetime durability and that signature Giddings energy transfer. Pick your weapon: Z for Vizzutti-style precision, J for Shew-inspired core, S for hybrid scream. Whichever you choose, the band will know — you're in command. Always.
