Trumpet Solo on
Homestretch

About

Kenny Dorham's trumpet solo is the second of 3 solos on this recording, following Joe Henderson's tenor sax and before McCoy Tyner's closing piano statement. Spanning four choruses of the 12-bar Blues form at a bright 275 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 43 seconds. Trumpeter Kenny Dorham follows with four tightly constructed choruses, and pianist McCoy Tyner contributes four hard-driving choruses of his own. Kenny Dorham was 38 to 39 years old at the time of this 1963 recording.
