Dark Eyes (Les Yeux Noirs) sheet music (right-click to download):

Bb Trumpet (also clarinet, tenor sax, etc.) Or if that's too high, this one is an octave lower

mp3 Backing Track (courtesy of Stephane Wrembel). The first three notes of the trumpet melody (B, Bb, B) are pickup notes, and they're played before the entrance of the rhythm section.

It's fast. To slow it down, use Audacity. See how to slow a tune down using Audacity here. 

But for now, because I'm nice, here are a four slower versions. You should learn how to do it. It's really easy with Audacity. Took me less than 3 minutes to do these four examples: 
90% speed
80% 
70%
50%

If you want to play with others:
C Instruments (piano, bass, guitar, etc.)
Eb Instruments (alto sax, etc.)
F Instruments (horn, etc.)

Here is a vast list of trumpet sheet music. Not comprehensive, but a great place to start looking if you're stumped for things to play or looking for examples for listening (for easier-to-find listening, see below).

Trumpet Music Discography: Another looong list of recorded music. Hyperlinked, so click to hear samples or get a copy for your collection.

It's a few years old, so there is lots of great new stuff out, like from trumpeter Avishai Cohen, for example.
