Clifford Brown
Trumpet Solo on
I Feel A Song Coming On

About

Clifford Brown's trumpet solo is the second of three improvisations on this recording, following Rollins's tenor saxophone. Taking one chorus of the 56-bar AABA form in E-flat at 331 BPM, Brown delivers some of the most stunning high-velocity trumpet playing in the jazz canon. His fleet lines and brilliant tone sail through the extended form at this breathtaking tempo with an ease that belies the enormous technical demands, his solo standing as a testament to the extraordinary abilities that made him one of the most influential trumpet voices in jazz history.

Clifford Brown was 25 to 26 years old at the time.
