Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Samba - Medium

Publisher: Baker's Jazz and More

Possibly the most “feel good” tune you’ll ever play. This smooth samba tune features contrapuntal interplay between and across the sections while still providing ample solo space for trumpet and alto sax. In between those soloists is the drum/aux. percussion feature section where the ensemble provides its own stop time rhythmic counterpoint. After the alto solo, the ensemble builds through a harmonic progression before arriving at the shout section and montuna ending. Trumpet range is to written A with a high D stinger on the final note.
