A Mi Papa—Matt Morey. A Mi Papa is an accessible Latin groove chart based on the chord
changes for Horace Silver's classic Song for My Father. The rhythm section sets the tone which

the brass. Trumpet and tenor sax are the featured soloists with written solos provided along with
chord symbols, and the trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff. Plenty of ensemble
backgrounds provide security for the soloists. A long ensemble crescendo begins after the
soloists and leads to the shout section and finish. Great for the entire ensemble!
