Edition: Jazz Quintet or Sextet Arrangement (Two Horns With Rhythm)

Description: Latin - Medium

Publisher: Second Floor Music/Hal Leonard

This arrangement combines the rhythms and some structural aspects of Latin music with Donald Brown's advanced harmonic language. The rhythm section maintains a montuno bass line much of the time and is often exposed with 2- and 4-bar drum solos around comping figures and some impressive piano/bass unisons. The horns alternate carrying the melody with playing repeated figures underneath the rhythm section. This is a great tool for teaching the rhythm section how to come in and out of the foreground.

SOLOS: The greater part of the solo changes, which consists mostly of II-Vs and chords that continue for at least 4 bars, will not pose a problem for most improvisers. However, the few measures that feature some of Brown's more characteristic harmonic gymnastics may require some attention.
