All of Freddie Hubbard's Blue Note recordings, his work with Art Blakey, etc. was done on the Bach 7C that came in the case with his Bach Mercedes trumpet. He said he assumed if the mouthpiece was sold with the instrument that he should use that.

I think Enrico Rava switched to a Heim. Which is still small.

You are correct, a few years ago he switched to a Heim.. Not sure if it's the new Heims or what exactly. Givovanni Tommaso and Enrico had a bit of falling out because Enrico didn't like the double billing of Tommaso/Rava Quartet on the album I linked, so I can't get a current update on what he plays. But personal theatrics aside Enrico is among the greatest living trumpet players in my opinion. Much better known and appreciated in Europe.

When I lived in Germany, I heard (and met) Enrico several times in Italy. He's a very creative musician, indeed!

Back-bore and throat play a bigger role in tone composition than does cup size and depth. In fact it could well be argued that some of the fattest sounds are produced on shallower cups with large throats and well adjusted back-bores.
The added advantage (besides better volume, control and endurance esp in the upper register) is that the larger throat on a shallower cup,
A. Doesnt "crack" as many notes. And,
B. Doesnt sound like he's gonna crack a note at any second.
The better control the trumpet player has on a shallower piece changes him from victim to commander. While I know that there are some great high note players who use large pieces? In do not like their sounds so much.
There are uses for large mouthpieces and I still own a couple. Including a flugelhorn piece I put in an adapter. But I use these only rarely. For exposed, middle and lower register solos with tricky intervals and articulation. Otherwise? I'm generally shallower even than 10c.
