Tatum Greenblatt
Trumpet Solo on
Chi Chi

About

Tatum Greenblatt follows Alexa Tarantino with ten choruses of trumpet on "Chi Chi" at approximately 209 BPM, matching her alto saxophone feature in both length and improvisational intensity. His extended solo over the 12-bar blues in A-flat builds steadily across the ten choruses, his bright tone and rhythmic clarity sustaining interest throughout this substantial statement. As the second of four soloists on what is the session's longest and most expansive performance, Greenblatt demonstrates the stamina and creativity required to maintain musical momentum over such an extended span, each chorus finding new angles on Parker's blues changes.

Tatum Greenblatt was 38 to 39 years old at the time.
