Joe Magnarelli
Trumpet Solo on
Don't Get Around Much Anymore

About

Joe Magnarelli's trumpet solo opens the improvised portion of this recording, followed by Jay Anderson on acoustic bass. Spanning two choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at a relaxed 97 BPM with a swing feel in C, the solo runs approximately 2:42. Magnarelli takes two expansive choruses, bringing a warm, singing tone to Ellington's elegant changes with the kind of melodic sophistication that the Duke's music demands. Duke Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" receives a medium-tempo swing treatment on Stephen Riley's 2018 album Oleo. Joe Magnarelli was 57 to 58 years old at the time of this 2018 recording.
