Answer:

A good mouthpiece for lead trumpet is the Bach megatone 3c. You should get one thats goldplated for a rich dark tone that goes with jazz. its also good with the high register and you wont sacrifice tone.

If you really want a mouthpiece that will help you nail those high notes then get a Schilke 14a4a. You will sacrifice good tone quality, but hey, it's jazz (slap me =) I was a HS band director. My lead players used the Schilke. The same guys played 3c or 1c in concert band. They didn't have a problem switching back and forth.
