Conte Candoli
Trumpet Solo on
Neil's Blues

About

Conte Candoli's two-chorus trumpet solo is the third of five solos on this blues blowing session. Following Frank Morgan's extended four-chorus alto statement, Candoli takes the 12-bar form at 141 BPM in F, his bright trumpet lines adding melodic variety to the sequence. At 27 to 28 years old during this session, Candoli was already an established presence on the Los Angeles scene, and his two choruses demonstrate the clean execution and logical phrase construction that characterized his work.

Conte Candoli was 27 to 28 years old at the time.
