4 Africa—Paich & Porcaro/arr. Ralph Ford. Here's
a wonderful take on the group Toto's classic rock
tune from the '80s. It's solidly scored throughout
and sounds amazingly like the original while
remaining accessible for developing jazz bands.
With nice dynamic contrasts, an uncomplicated
melodic line, and a medium rock groove, this chart
is one that younger players can really dig into, yet
it will sound mature when performed by a more
advanced group. More features include: half-note
tempo of 90 bpm; written or ad lib solos for alto sax
1 and trombone 1; trumpet 1 range to written G on
top of the staff; and optional parts for flute, clarinet
and vibes. Great tune, fine chart!
