	Trumpet
		The term "trumpet" is applied to any instrument in which the airstream passes through the player's vibrating lips, so gaining access to the air column which is made to vibrate.
		Until about 1300, trumpeters and many other musicians were vagrants, but during the 14th and 15th centuries their social position gradually stabilized as they found employment as city musicians, or, in the case of trumpeters, as tower watchmen.
		Indeed, modern trumpeters, because of the variety of musical styles in which they are required to play - and the perfection demanded of them in broadcast and recorded performances - need at least three or four instruments, including ones pitched in B-flat and in C for regular work.

		Jackie Kay's first novel is a curious and haunting story about mixed-race jazz trumpeter Joss Moody (Irish mother, fl father), who turns out, on his death, to have been a woman all along.
		Though it's easy to understand his anger and confusion upon suddenly learning that the man he regarded as his father for 30 years was actually a woman, one also has the sneaking suspicion that he wasn't a particularly lovable guy before the revelation, either.
		The embittered son, the egocentric, tawdry journalist and the perverse undertaker, for example, were predictable and stereotypic but not so much as to get in the way of this novel's deeply beating heart.
