Edition: JAZZ BIG BAND ARRANGEMENT

Description: SAMBA - MEDIUM DIFFICULT

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

A lively, highly energetic samba featuring flute, drums, and a rythmically spoken vocal. It begins with an intense band unison followed by a piano figure that sets up the melody, played first by the piano, and then doubled by the flute. There are plenty of dynamic variations, especially on the band unisons, making for some "roller coaster-like rides." The drums alternate with the vocal in a series of pointillistic outbursts designed to keep the listenenr's ears "on their toes." The purpose of the vocal is to focus our attention "on being here!" Enjoy! Trumpet to D and trombone range is to B. 5, 4, 4, G, P, B, D. Alto 2 dbls flute, vocal is optl. Medium difficult.
