Mike Rocha
Trumpet Solo on
Scatter Good Seed in The Fields

About

Mike Rocha's trumpet solo opens the improvisation on this live up-tempo swing performance. At 210 BPM in E minor with an open form, Rocha sets a high energy level from the outset with a swinging statement that demands virtuosic technique. As the first of three solos, his trumpet launches the ascending energy arc that will carry through the bass and drums as the tempo accelerates. The E minor tonality provides a raw, open harmonic canvas for his rapid melodic lines.
