trumpet solo
Horn player's moment
A trumpet solo is a passage in a piece of music where the trumpet plays alone or as the featured instrument, with other instruments providing accompaniment or dropping out entirely.
In jazz, the trumpet solo is a showcase for improvisation: Miles Davis's trumpet solo on "So What" defined cool jazz.
In orchestral and pop contexts, solos are typically composed rather than improvised.
