Mike Rocha
Trumpet Solo on
In Turquoise Time

About

Mike Rocha's trumpet solo is the fourth of five solos on this extended live performance. At 114 BPM in C minor with a straight-eighth feel, Rocha contributes a lyrical statement as the tempo settles, his trumpet bringing warm melodic lines to the composition's impressionistic sonic landscape. Following the energetic drum solo, Rocha's more lyrical approach provides a welcome dynamic shift that prepares the way for Chart's closing flute statement.
