Mike Rocha
Trumpet Solo on
Grinder

About

Mike Rocha's trumpet solo is the second of three solos on this live funk performance. At 89 BPM in F minor with an open form, Rocha brings bright melodic lines that contrast with the moody F minor tonality and the grinding funk groove. Following Saul's keyboard opening, Rocha's focused statement adds a different color to the performance, his trumpet providing a welcome timbral contrast against the dark harmonic backdrop.
