Conte Candoli
Trumpet Solo on
Chooch

About

Conte Candoli's one-chorus trumpet solo is the second of three solos on this Latin-feel Morgan original. Following Morgan's alto opening, Candoli takes the 32-bar AABA' form at 193 BPM in E-flat, his bright West Coast tone fitting naturally into the Latin rhythmic context. The conversational quality between the soloists is evident, with Candoli building on the ideas Morgan has established while bringing his own melodic perspective to the tune's harmonic twists.

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