Mike Rocha
Trumpet Solo on
She Absorbed Him

About

Mike Rocha's trumpet solo is the second of five solos on this live waltz performance. Following Chart's alto opening, Rocha improvises at 174 BPM in C minor in 3/4 time, delivering an extended waltz-time statement that builds on the dramatic character Chart established. The three-four time signature gives Rocha's melodic lines a flowing, lyrical quality distinct from the album's straight-time performances.
