Terence Blanchard jam session solo on Morning Sunrise changes

(My Original Blog Post: http://jazztrumpetlicks.com/2009/10/terence-blanchard-jam-session-solo-morning-sunrise-changes/)
It's always cool to hear a famous Jazz trumpet player like Terence Blanchard at a jam session. I've never got to hear him really play without a whole bunch of bends  in his trumpet solo until I watched this Jazz video clip of him at the 2007 Vitoria Jazz Festival. I'm not 100% sure of the chord changes, I think it is from the tune Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise.


Notice how Terence Blanchard uses a whole bunch of chromatic Jazz licks as his style of trumpet playing which is cool. Even though Terence Blanchard is jamming, he maintains his own unique style on the trumpet. He really doesn't use a whole lot of breaks though. Instead he goes hard core pretty much all the way until the end of his jam session Jazz solo.
