Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Bossa Nova - Medium Easy

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

This is a beautiful medium tempo (mm=132) bossa that works great for young bands. The melody is played first by alto/tenor/trumpet/bone (with optional guitar or vibes.) The soloist (any of the above) can stay in C minor as the changes move around that key. Easy for brass: lead trumpet stays in the staff. Consider this one for the middle tune in your festival set.
