Trumpet Solo on
One For Daddy-O

About

Miles Davis's trumpet solo is the second of 6 solos on this recording, following Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's alto sax and followed by Hank Jones on piano. Spanning five choruses of the 12-bar Blues form at a moderate 108 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 2:15. Miles Davis follows with five choruses of muted trumpet, building a solo of remarkable patience and architectural beauty. Miles Davis was 31 to 32 years old at the time of this 1958 recording.
