Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Samba - Medium Easy

Publisher: Alfred Publishing

Something different---a clever samba based on this novelty song, you’ll love it! After the medium rubato intro, the medium tempo samba kicks in with altos and trumpets then the melody is bounced around to all sections. After the montuna interlude, 2nd trumpet solos (written) with only two chords to keep it accessible for young players, a sax soli, a 2nd trombone solo (written), then the big shout chorus and out. Playable with reduced instrumentation of 4/3/2/3 plus optional flute, horn in F, baritone T.C. and tuba parts.
