LATIN easy / medium-easy
Some Sauce-a, for Your Bossa?—Brad
Ciechomski. This bossa nova layers pleasing
melodies and clever harmonies on top of the classic
beat from Brazil. After the melody statement,
there's a nice development section leading to
the open solo section where players can use the
suggested solo sheets in all keys or improvise over
the chord symbols. More features include moderate
ranges, notated rhythm section parts, and options
for reduced or expanded instrumentation. Sauce
with a bit of spice, but not too hot!

Sway—Juan Pablo Ruiz/arr. Rick Stitzel. This
smooth Latin favorite has been around for more
than 50 years and recorded countless times,
including recently by Michael Buble. The easy
rhythms and infectious groove make it an excellent
choice for beginning groups. Scored for full jazz
band, it's equally effective when played with as few
as 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone and rhythm.
Also included are optional parts for flute, 2 clarinets,
horn in F and tuba. This will be a fun favorite!

The Beach Life—Kris Berg. This calypso chart
might be the happiest piece ever written for young
jazz ensemble. Like the classic Sonny Rollins
piece St. Thomas, this composition uses simple
basic chords and rhythms, but the end result is a
sparkling, bright change-of-pace chart. There are
some opportunities for soloing for alto and trumpet,
and your rhythm section players will appreciate
the carefully crafted parts that are easy to play but
sound great.

H Tiger of San Pedro—John LaBarbera/arr. Paul
Lavender. At last! An exciting, easy setting of this
great John LaBarbera Latin chart that's ideal for
developing bands. It is surprisingly true to the
original, but it is well within the reach of even more
limited groups.
2199115 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
U D'Bossa—Rod Blumenau. Tired of sleepy bossa
nova charts? Well, sit up and take notice because
this one is different! This unique and beautifully
crafted bossa nova features very colorful harmonies
and enough syncopation to be interesting but still
playable by all. After an attention-grabbing piano
introduction, there's a horns-only section along with
piano before the rhythm section is added, and then
the whole band. The open solo section is for anyone
with the included scales sheets or written solos in all
the parts. The ranges are moderate, the rhythm section
parts are notated, and the instrumentation is flexible.
This is one of the best and highly recommended!

Latin Selections
Medium-Easy
Cambios de Otono—Paul Baker. Based on the
chord changes for Autumn Leaves, this easy-going
samba puts a new spin on the classic jazz standard.
After the melody is presented, an ensemble
montuna section follows where the figure is handed
off across the entire group. Written solos for piano
and alto sax or guitar are provided along with chord
changes for young improvisers. After an eight-bar
drum solo, the shout section drives to a powerful
finale. Trumpet range is to written G. Trombone
range is to F.

H Cantaloupe Island—Herbie Hancock/arr. Mike
Kamuf. Arranger Mike Kamuf scored this hip,
funky Latin-rock tune for younger players. Ideal
for this level, it features three chords, a repetitive
groove, catchy melody and a hot bari sax part.
There are written solos for tenor sax and trumpet,
and the lead trumpet range goes to a top line
F with optional G on top of the staff. This chart
will also sound great with optional or expanded
instrumentation. This is a superb chart from
beginning to end. Highly recommended!
10028077 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .48.00
Caribbean Dance—Victor Lopez. Here's an
exciting and bright samba chart at an accessible
level for developing bands. This chart is packed
with montuno patterns for all sections, a very catchy
melody, and the trumpet 1 range is up to G on top
of the staff. There's also an effective stop-time
section, and the last chorus builds to a great finale.
Optional parts are included for flute, horn in F,
baritone/tenor sax and tuba. It's an interesting and
fun Latin chart and a great choice for your library!

H
Charade—Henry Mancini/arr. Mark Taylor.
Feature your trombone soloist on this unique
and accessible samba setting of Henry Mancini's
popular standard! The soloist alternates with
flowing ensemble passages, and later there's a full-
ensemble shout that begins with a full-band unison.
The solo is written and chord changes are provided
for improvisation as desired. Moderate ranges and
technical demands will allow for focus on the style
and feel of this marvelous chart!
10317233 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .55.00
A Child Is Born—Thad Jones/arr. John Denton.
This wonderful jazz standard by Thad Jones moves
smoothly through a few styles - first as a ballad, then
as a moderate jazz waltz, then as a bossa in four,
and back to the jazz waltz feel - all the while keeping
the beauty and integrity of the original. Written or
ad lib solos are for alto sax and trumpet. Gorgeous
chord voicings and tasty contrapuntal lines support
this beautiful tune in a very tasteful way!
2701948 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .52.00
Children of Sanchez—Chuck Mangione/arr.
Victor Lopez. Here's some great news for bands at
the medium-easy level! If the popular Dave Wolpe
arrangement of this tune was just a bit out of reach
for your band, now you can enjoy a successful
performance of this Chuck Mangione classic using
this slightly simplified version! Victor has taken the
key down a whole-step, and has carefully adapted
the ranges, with the highest trumpet note being an
A above the staff. What a treat for developing bands!
2474240 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .52.00
H Cold Duck Time—Eddie Harris/arr. Mark Taylor.
Mark Taylor utilizes a small group alternating with
the full band and a moderate Latin style in this
effectively written version of this jazz standard. Also
featured is a written or improvised solo for tenor sax
and dynamically scored tutti ensemble sections. A
perfect change of pace!
10033689 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
The Cool One—Benny Golson/arr. Erik Morales.
This Benny Golson standard is creative in its
treatment here as a Latin cha-cha played at around
152 bpm. The Cool One features expansive and
brilliant ensemble writing as well as written or
improvised solos for alto sax 1 and trumpet 2. The
lead trumpet range is up to F-sharp top line and the
scoring allows for optional reduced instrumentation
as well as optional parts included for flute and
vibes. Not to be missed for developing groups!

H
A Day in the Life of a Fool—Luiz Bonfa/arr. Terry
White. With a sophisticated sound right off the top,
this chart features a bossa nova groove at around
128 bpm. But not just any bossa, this one stands
out above the rest! It includes superb harmonies,
nice voicings, a great sax soli, written solos for alto
and trumpet, and a big shout chorus. Included are
a variety of optional parts plus flute, clarinet, and
vibes. A Day in the Life of a Fool is all very tasty
throughout. Highly recommended!
10593757 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .48.00
Despacito—arr. Paul Murtha. Setting records for
most views on YouTube and topping the pop charts
in several countries, Despacito was recorded by
Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi with rapper Daddy
Yankee (and later remixed with Justin Bieber). With
its infectious Latin pop style and catchy melody,
here is a great sounding and effective version for
jazz ensemble!
10842281 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
Don't Look Back—Debbie Stempien & Greg
Turner. This medium-tempo pop bossa chart
is reminiscent of the music of the Pat Metheny
Group. Despite the complex harmonies and
challenging syncopated rhythms, this piece has
a light, airy, and chill feel to it. The dynamic hook
of the bridge is catchy and invigorating, and
both players and listeners will find themselves
humming the tune. Three solo sections include
both optional written solos and chord symbols for
players preferring to improvise.
11198294 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Downtown Tango—Rick Hirsch. Don't miss
this very effective Latin original with an auxiliary
percussion part that includes castanets for an
authentic tango flavor. The features include a
modest tempo of 104 bpm and a lead trumpet
range to written G. Brief written solos for alto, tenor,
trumpet, and trombone will give young jazzers an
opportunity to shine. A big shout chorus completes
the package, and it's playable with optional
expanded instrumentations. A soulful tango for sure!
10593759 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .48.00
First Class Ticket—Rich Woolworth. A fun and
exciting chart in a mambo style! Featuring a duet
of alto and trumpet throughout, there is some
interesting ensemble work and some solo space
for drums. This syncopated tune will make toes tap
and heads bop!
11202580 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Four Leaf Clave—arr. Tim Waters. This upbeat
Latin chart delivers an exciting twist on the classic
tune I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover. There are
solos provided for alto sax and trumpet. This chart is
very approachable and developing groups will be able
to get a taste of some good Latin playing with this.
Change things up at your next concert with this tune!

Journey to Recife—Richard Evans & Norman
Gimbel/arr. Terry White. Composed in the early
1960s, this marvelous bossa nova may not be as
well known as some, but it is no less attractive -
especially arranged here for young bands. A brief
duet of trumpet and tenor gives way to the saxes,
then ultimately nice rich scoring for the entire band.
Also includes solos for tenor sax and trumpet. This
chart has nice flow and pacing throughout!
11208479 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
H Land of Make Believe—Chuck Mangione/arr.
Victor Lopez. Get out the Latin percussion for
this famous tune! A lazy intro for trumpet and
alto explodes into a fierce samba that develops
into a mambo later on, then back to the samba
feel. Turn your first trumpet player loose on this
and drive your audience into a frenzy! This will go
over big for contest and festival performances,
too! Very highly recommended!
2701946 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .52.00
The Late Night Llama—Roger Schmidli. The
Late Night Llama is a driving Latin composition
with a catchy piano riff that's central to this chart,
featuring dynamic horn lines and a short rhythm
section. The written or improvised solos are for
trombone, trumpet, tenor sax and alto sax. Plus,
it's playable with optional reduced or expanded
instrumentation. Exciting!
11100445 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .55.00
H Little Sunflower—Freddie Hubbard/arr. Mike
Kamuf. Jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard has sadly
passed on but his wonderful music lives on. This
wonderful jazz standard is masterfully arranged
and features a haunting melody with an alternating
bossa and light funk groove. The solos are written
for piano, trumpet and tenor sax with modest brass
ranges and a sweet shout chorus. It's been play-
tested with great success and is an excellent chart
all around! Optional expanded instrumentation.

Bielawski. This is a laid-back Latin chart with lots of
unison and soli playing. The trumpet high note is G
above the staff and trombone is F. There are solos
for trumpet and alto both written or improvised.
This funky cha-cha certainly warrants a listen, with
some lush and creative orchestration that makes
this chart really shine.
