the jump keys are the way that the keys are positioned on the clarinet... I think that is why they call them jump keys cause of the way they go from smallest to largest. Of course you have them on your clarinet.. they are on the right hand side of the top joint on the clarinet.. I believe that they are 4 clustered keys...I hope this helps.

Jump trill keys refer to the STYLE of the four keys on the side of the upper joint. Most clarinets have the cups offset from the lever arm. A few clarinets (notably some made by Leblanc) have the cups inline with the arms. Then the key arms have a cutout where they "jump" over the cups. For awhile, Leblanc had the patent so that they only occurred on Leblanc instruments. However that patent is long expired. Some Leblancs have the inline jump trill keys and others have the offset style trill keys. Buffets and Selmers all have the offset style trill keys.
I doubt that there is a big advantage or disadvantage either way. The inline style should be slightly stronger at the arm/cup transition.

I've played clarinets with both sorts (inline and not inline) and I couldn't see any difference. So I'd ignore that as a feature of the clarinet.
