Mike Rocha
Trumpet Solo on
Right On!

About

Mike Rocha's one-chorus trumpet solo opens the improvisation on this funk-driven Chart original. Over the unconventional 13-bar form at 100 BPM in B minor, Rocha navigates the extra measure that extends beyond a typical 12-bar blues while maintaining the forward momentum of the funk pocket. As the first of three solos, his concise statement sets the improvisational tone for a track that blends jazz improvisation with modern funk sensibilities.
