Trumpet Solo on "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is"

tomba51 · 08-30-2008, 08:59 PM

Hey, a question for you guys & gals that play in horn bands. Is the trumpet solo in Chicago's "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is" one of those solos that is expected to be played exactly the same as on the record, or do you improvise a new solo when you play that song?

Thanks.
Tom

If it were me, I'd learn the solo from the record for a tune like this.

Hi Tomba51

You should definitely memorize or at least get the core of this solo, as it was played by Lee Loughnane/Chicago.
It is a "signature" solo in rock just as the "In the Mood" trumpet solo's would be on the classic Miller arrangements.
Same goes for Solaffs work in BS T, some Tower of Power etc. This particular solo is right on top of the tune and is a recognizable "set-up" to bring in the rest of the piece.Lee was a founding member of the group, they have a great Bone on top (if that's good;) arranging style. Great stuff---it's not a long or demanding solo either, EZ to pick up. There is "noodle room" but I wouldn't just bop away unless your bands arrangement
is way different.
Best regards,
Jason Parra

I play it pretty close to the original. It's a standard that people recognize. That's what I would want to hear if I was listening to another band play it.

play most of it the way the recording is

Yea I agree, this is no way a jazz standard and I"am assuming it"s not a jazz band.Sounds like playing the solo is in order for this tune ,not taking one.
