Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Samba - Advanced

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

This exhilarating medium fast samba is a Trombone feature that also contains meaty challenges for the rest of the band. The statements of the quirky head by the featured trombone are interspersed with Cuban interludes.

After the improvised trombone solo the saxes have an bravura soli section which, when combined with brass figures, serves as a substantial shout chorus. After a brief drum solo the head is restated with a short tag. This piece contains challenging material for all members of the ensemble and is an exciting and accessible experience for the listener.
