Trumpet Solo on
Daahoud

About

Clifford Brown's trumpet solo is the first of four solos on this recording. Spanning two choruses of the 32-bar AABA form in E♭ at a vigorous 244 BPM with a swing feel, Brown opens the solo section with two choruses of trumpet, his improvisation displaying the remarkable speed, clarity, and melodic logic that have made his recordings essential study material for generations of jazz musicians. Clifford Brown was just 23 to 24 years old at the time of this recording, already displaying remarkable maturity.
