About
Lee Morgan's trumpet solo is the 3rd of 5 on this recording, following Curtis Fuller's trombone and followed by Kenny Drew on piano. Spanning two choruses of the 44-bar AABA form at a bright 270 BPM with a swing feel in B♭, the solo runs approximately 1:26. Lee Morgan delivers two choruses of trumpet improvisation that sparkle with the dazzling technique and brash confidence that made him one of the most exciting young voices in hard bop.
