Trumpet Solo on

About

Mike Rocha's trumpet solo is the second of four solos on this studio funk recording. Following Chart's alto opening, Rocha takes the open form at 80 BPM in C minor, maintaining the funky momentum with his bright melodic lines. His trumpet voice provides a timbral contrast to Chart's alto, and the interplay between the two horns reflects the complementary partnership that has been compared to classic jazz horn tandems like Cannonball and Nat Adderley.
