It was the 80's, I feel a *slammin' saxophone solo* would be tasteful.

Very reminiscent of the melodic shape of "River Flows in You" by Yiruma. Very pretty solo and a nice transcription to go with it!

[paulgrass]

Instantly improved. Strongly believe any song can be upgraded by a brass instrument solo. Fight me if you disagree!

[wbwam]

Most of the time when someone adds a solo, its just the melody with a different instrument, this is really cool!

[TuTuChief]

I feel like most things could be improved by a brass solo, not just music 🤔

Speaking of solos that improve things George,
It would be amazing if you would feature Olivier Franc's rendition of Summertime with the Wynton Marsallis Orchestra. Many Thanks as always!

i forgot that there was a song called africa, so i thought the title was just referring to the entire African continent 💀

An amazing solo to go with on of my favorite songs, you all know I’m learning how to play this too.

[bravo.guitar]

Always feel happiness when hear sooo different instruments and styles, and everything have a different beautiful

[panpolypuff]

Love Oli’s stuff. This one is dying for a redub with flugel horn though 😍

[Kelarys]

I'm annoyed that he cut right at the final note, because now I can't edit it into the full version seamlessly

[jonburton]

Just extraordinary virtuosic skill this is.

[SuperJNG]

I kinda want this to become an accepted actual part of the song, like how you can't hear the beginning of "Jerk It Out" without wanting to go "LET'S GO!"

[ReceptiveRaptor]

Need a version of Africa mixed to include this solo, instantly improves the song.

[attackhelicopter]

I'm going to beg my my band director to add this bit in when we do a jazz song

[MintiesPoopin]

Don’t be shy, you know you want to play ‘River Flows in You’ in the solo

[HighWideandHandsome]

Almost teared up, it was so beautiful.

[miyagidojo]

I need the whole song in trumpet. That was dope

[Mozzarella-and-Tomato]

I feel like this unexpectedly completed a part of me, I don't know how to describe it but this is beautiful

[MRBIGGAMEJAMES]

This is very good. Check out the cavaliers playing Africa, they have a sick trumpet solo in their arrangement also

[ruby]

nice for a continent to have its own trumpet solo
