Jun Iida
Trumpet Solo on
Holding On to Autumn

About

Jun Iida opens the solo section on trumpet, stretching out for one chorus at approximately 101 BPM. Set within a straight feel, the 40-bar AABAA form and the key of C, the solo navigates the chord changes with purpose. As the first voice heard after the head, Iida sets the improvisational tone before passing to Josh Nelson. "Holding On to Autumn" is an original composition by Jun Iida from his 2023 album Evergreen, performed in C minor with a straight-eighth feel at approximately 101 BPM over an unusual AABAA form spanning 40 bars.

Jun Iida was 31 to 32 years old at the time.
