In jazz, the 1st trumpets tend to play the melody and the 2nd, 3rd, etc play the accompaniment. Their loud sound tends to stand out so they are given important roles. Often, the trumpets share the melody throughout jazz pieces with the saxaphones as they are both, overall, the main build of a jazz group.
