I really enjoy listening to Ryan Kisor take solos on the trumpet. His trumpet solo on the tune Candy from The Sidewinder album is very melodic sounding and fun to sing or hum along with. Ryan Kisor nails all the changes in this Candy trumpet solo and there are a quite a few Jazz licks [...] Read the rest of this entry…

You’re really going to love this sound bite of Jon Faddis on Mood Indigo if you haven’t heard it yet. If you have heard it, you’ll still love to hear it again because it’s just that good. Jon Faddis plays a bunch of lip trills on a high C, then a high E, and finally [...] Read the rest of this entry…

I heard Tom Harrell play this Jazz lick in the beginning of his trumpet solo on Scrapple From the Apple off his Moon Alley album. This lick doesn’t necessarily have to be played over a ii V7 I, it can be played over a regular major chord as well. It’s a very scale like Jazz [...] Read the rest of this entry…

Arturo Sandoval takes a great trumpet solo cadenza on A Night in Tunisia from his album The Best of Arturo Sandoval. I cut out the best part of this recording. Arturo Sandoval starts the solo off with a trumpet cadenza with some really fast trumpet licks. Then Arturo Sandoval changes the whole mood and switches [...] Read the rest of this entry…

I wanted to share a really fast Jazz trumpet solo of Ryan Kisor on the tune Cherokee from his album entitled Kisor. It’s a really good CD, definitely take a look at it. I don’t know what tempo Ryan Kisor took Cherokee at though. Ryan Kisor starts Cherokee off soloing right away, no head is [...] Read the rest of this entry…

This is one of my favorite Freddie Hubbard Jazz trumpet solos. It is off his album Ready for Freddie on the tune Birdlike. One of the reasons I’m impressed with this Freddie Hubbard trumpet solo is because it lasts for about 4 minutes and Freddie Hubbard never fails to run out of good ideas, let [...] Read the rest of this entry…
