Wallace Roney's trumpet solo on "Move" - RIP Wallace RoneyFrom Gerry Mulligan's "Rebirth Of The Cool" sessions. Although I didn't transcribe this solo, I felt it was necessary to mention it. It's one of my very favorites of Wallace's solos. It's the epitome of his uncanny ability to sound exactly like Miles and yet do his own thing at once. Not late Miles, though. Young Miles that ran with Bird and Dizzy. Every little crack and sidestep. Miles. It's all there. Rest In Paradise (with Geri), Brother Wallace.
