About
Clifford Brown's trumpet solo is the 2nd of 4 on this recording, spanning four choruses at approximately 222 BPM. Set within a swinging rhythmic framework, the 32-bar ABAB' form and the key of E♭, the solo navigates the chord changes with purpose. Built on the chord changes of "There Will Never Be Another You," the harmonic foundation is a familiar one in the jazz repertoire, inviting inventive melodic departures. Positioned between Lou Donaldson and Horace Silver, Brown bridges the conversation between the two. Composed by Horace Silver as a contrafact on "There Will Never Be Another You," the tune is taken at a driving tempo above 220 bpm in E-flat, with a 32-bar ABAB' form.
Clifford Brown was 23 to 24 years old at the time.
