One Note Samba—Antonio Carlos Jobim/arr.
Paul Murtha. When it comes to Latin compositions,
it just doesn't get any better than the music of
Antonio Carlos Jobim. This classic tune is nicely
adapted for intermediate players featuring the
brass on the "one note" melody and the saxes on
the "more than one note" bridge. The easy flowing
groove and solid ensemble writing help ensure a
great sounding arrangement!

H Afro Blue—Mongo Santamaria/arr. Michael
Mossman. Made famous by John Coltrane, but
treated here in a more traditional Afro-Latin style,
this is something a little different for jazz ensemble.
As with all Mossman charts, the rhythm section is
meticulously notated to ensure the correct style.
The 3/4 pattern throughout draws heavily on
African influences and the melody is masterfully
passed from section to section. A single pentatonic
scale works for the solo section, making this a
wonderful vehicle for involving many soloists.

Afro Blue (Little Big Band)—Mongo Santamaria/
arr. Michael Mossman. Even though this is scored

an Afro-Cuban 6/8 groove, this marvelous chart
includes solos for tenor or trumpet. Instrumentation:
3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone, rhythm section
with optional additional parts for alto sax, tenor sax
and trombone.

Feels So Good—Chuck Mangione/arr. Victor

to the pop charts the way this Chuck Mangione
classic did back in the seventies! Flugelhorn solo
on the 1st trumpet part is featured throughout
with the distinctive melody and then with a
written or ad lib solo along with a tenor solo.
The flugelhorn solo range is up to an optional
written high C, but the solo is cued on the 1st

this contemporary gem within the range of the
developing trumpet player without losing any of
the hip appeal of the original. Here's a perennially
appealing, samba/rock chart that will provide
outstanding performance opportunities for your
band and soloist! Highly recommended!
