Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Calypso - Medium Easy

Publisher: Kendor Music

Written in the calypso style, this Latin original features a tuneful melody supported by an interesting chord progression with solid orchestration. Though this chart contains great learning material, it’s simply fun to play and will leave the band and the audience whistling the melody. The piano part is fully notated with chord symbols provided. The guitar part consists primarily of changes and slashes, with a couple brief notated sections where the guitarist shares some melodic material with the ensemble. The solo section has changes cued for all instruments and can be negotiated with the notes from only one scale. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set. Duration 2:45.
