LATIN SELECTIONS easy / medium-easy
O Christmas Tree—arr. Haley Woodrow. This
reimagining of a classic holiday staple will be a
surefire favorite at your holiday concert! Influenced
by the sounds of Latin America, this arrangement
includes a fun montuno and a swing shout
section. While scored for traditional big band
instrumentation, it's also playable with just rhythm
section and a single trumpet, trombone, alto and
tenor saxophone, or anything in between. Limited
ranges make this accessible to a wide range of
bands. Be sure to check out this great chart!

Oye Como Va—Tito Puente/arr. Paul Murtha.
This arrangement of Tito Puente's Latin-rock
classic is an absolute "must" for young jazzers!
Made famous by Santana, and loaded with Latin-
American spirit, this chart is perfect for teaching
Latin style, while the simple chord structure takes
the mystery out of improvising. It's hot!

Pollo Rojo—Les Sabina. We haven't heard a better
original Latin tune at this grade level than Pollo Roja!
It's a cha-cha to be performed at around 146 bpm,
has easy brass ranges, includes a written or ad lib
alto sax solo, a cool melody, section solis, and it's
fun to hear and play. This is a well-crafted chart
that will guarantee maximum interest from players
and audiences! Playable with optional reduced or
expanded instrumentations. Highly recommended!
10513873 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .42.00
Samba de Roda—Dean Sorenson. A great
concert opener, this one hits on all cylinders right
out of the gate! It's an exciting samba played
around 160 bpm. Interesting harmonies and
authentic rhythms make this a must-have for any
ensemble. The features include moderate ranges,
notated rhythm section parts, and an open solo
section. The open solo section has solos for anyone
with the included scale sheets or the written solos
in all the parts. Flexibly scored, it will sound full
and complete with as few as nine players on up
to expanded jazz ensemble instrumentation. Samba
de Roda is exciting, fun, and highly recommended!
10910559 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .48.00
Sideways Walking Dog—Zachary Smith.
Sideways Walking Dog features a Latin/rock groove
at around 180 bpm with very simple rhythms and
a great melody line. Additional features include
easy brass ranges, a written solo for tenor sax, and
written-out drum fills. Clever, plus easy to play, plus
well-written equals a quality chart! Playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.
10452072 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .42.00
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!
10052551 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .40.00
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.
11346130 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
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.

Latin Selections
Medium-Easy
Abacus—Ryan Fraley. Here is a cheerful Latin waltz
chart that brings a new age flair along with it. There's
careful consideration for ranges, and the syncopation
provides a great chance to focus on rhythm.
11402123 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
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.
11207698 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .45.00
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!
10049707 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .48.00
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
Chega De Saudade (No More Blues)—Antonio
Carlos Jobim/arr. Mark Taylor. Featuring tenor sax
and trombone, here's a smooth arrangement of one
of Jobim's best melodies! With a medium samba
groove and skilled scoring throughout, this one
sounds great in the six-horn format.
11401172 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Chevre!—Michele Fernandez. One of the most
exciting and engaging Latin styles is the cha-cha-
cha! Composed using a moderate tempo and
featuring expertly crafted melodic lines, audiences
are sure to sway to the sound of this authentic
Cuban style. All parts are carefully notated to ensure
the correct interpretation of this important style.
11401166 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
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!
