Jun Iida
Trumpet Solo on
All Of You

About

Taking the 2nd solo, this trumpet improvisation spans four choruses of the 32-bar AA' form at a medium-up 156 BPM. The 32-bar AA' form, with its modified repeat, provides a balanced structure that encourages thematic development across its two halves. The subtle harmonic differences between the A and A' sections invite the soloist to shape phrases that reflect the form's modified structure. The extended solo length of over 3 minutes allows for a fully developed improvisation with room to build, explore, and resolve musical ideas. Situated between Ken Weiner's tenor sax solo and Paul Kreibich's turn on keyboard, it occupies a pivotal spot in the arrangement.
