LATIN SELECTIONS medium-easy / medium
Sun Shower—Kris Berg. This bossa nova has
a unique harmonic approach. Each new phrase
has some twists and turns that help make this
a very interesting chart. A great sax soli written
in the classic Nestico/Basie style is a great
feature. Fresh and modern sounding.

Un Poco Mas—Paul Baker. Un poco mas -
a little bit more- that's what this chart offers,
and it delivers! Opening with a definitive brass
statement, it settles into a smooth Latin groove
before switching things up with a half-time feel
on the bridge. Returning to Latin, the form
finishes and launches into the solo sections.
Both solos can be successfully navigated using
only the concert F harmonic minor or F blues
scales. Written solos are provided for trumpet
and tenor sax. The chart ends with a roar to the
finish line!

Valencia—George Shutack. This Latin samba
tune in the tradition of Tiger of San Pedro is
great for intermediate groups looking to bring
some energy to their performance. Full of solid
writing with punchy brass hits, your group will
sound fantastic playing this chart!

Latin Selections

Afro Blue—Mongo Santamaria/arr. Michael
Mossman. Even though this is scored by Michael
Philip Mossman for just six horns in the Little Big
Band Series, the writing is sophisticated and full
sounding. Written in 3/4, but featuring 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.

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.
2478928 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . .55.00
Blackbird—Lennon & McCartney/arr.
Mark Taylor. The haunting and distinctive
Blackbird, from The Beatles' White Album, is
adapted here in a moderate and soft samba
style in the Little Big Band format. Trumpet
and alto sax are featured on the melody and
for written or improvised solos. This creative
chart also has some nice ensemble trades
with the drums. Flexibly scored for three
saxes, two trumpets, one trombone, and four
rhythm with optional additional parts for alto
sax, tenor sax and trombone.
10909026 Jazz Ensemble
(Little Big Band). . . . . . . . . .45.00
Blue Bossa—Kenny Dorham/arr. Mark Taylor.
Sounding full and richly varied, here is a great
six-horn chart on the timeless Kenny Dorham
jazz standard. The melody is first stated by a
trio of trumpet, tenor and guitar followed by the
full ensemble, then solo sections for trumpet
and tenor. Scored for 6 horns (3 saxes, 2
trumpets 1 trombone) plus rhythm section with
optional parts included for alto sax, tenor sax
and trombone. Highly recommended!

(Little Big Band). . . . . . . . . .45.00
Blue Bossa—Kenny Dorham/arr. Mark
Taylor. One of the essential Latin jazz classics,
this catchy tune moves and grooves in Mark
Taylor's spicy arrangement. It really makes the
most of the Latin rhythmic feel, with exciting
solo space and well-articulated ensemble
backups. Very cool... and hot!
2475702 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . .55.00
The Boulevard—Peter Sciaino. The 1960's
Blue Note era inspired this Latin rock chart that
is bursting with energy and drive. With solos
for alto sax and trumpet, this unique work
uses interplay between the winds along with
interesting harmonic structure to stand out from
the crowd.
11393016 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Chili Today, Hot Tamale—Rick Hirsch. A
great title and great chart! Chili Today, Hot
Tamale is set in a samba groove in cut time
at around 90 bpm. It's accessible to a solid
easy to medium grade level, there are written
solos for trombone 1 and tenor sax 1, optional
parts for expanded instrumentations, and the
trumpet 1 range goes to written A above the
staff with optional lower notes. This chart is fun
to play and loaded with energy!

Coconut Champagne—Denis DiBlasio/arr.
Victor Lopez. Victor Lopez' arrangement of
this great tune by Denis DiBlasio is a more
accessible version than the original. At a
medium grade level with an upbeat samba
groove, everybody gets some action with
the classic Maynard Ferguson trumpet solo
harmonized for the trumpet section in a
playable range. There is a sax section soli
that can also be a solo for bari sax or any
saxophone. An optional percussion part will
complete the package. You'll dig this chart...it
soars, it excites!
10277765 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . .52.00
Danza del Carcayu—Kris Berg. This chart is
a burning, high-energy samba that will bring
the house down at festivals and concerts.
The excitement makes it perfect as an opener
or closer. Solo space is provided for alto
sax, tenor sax, or vibes and then trumpet or
trombone. Later, exciting ensemble trades
feature your drummer. Fast paced and exciting,
this will be a sure crowd pleaser!

El Alma de la Banda (The Soul of the Band)
—Gordon Goodwin. It's soulful, Latin, and full
of energy - phenomenal jazz writing while still
being accessible to well-developed high school
jazz programs. All instrumentalists enjoy hip
and memorable licks. The lead trumpet range
is to written high C above the staff, with solo
space (suggested written solo) for alto, tenor,
bari, trumpet, and trombones 1 and 2. Auxiliary
percussion plus optional flute and vibes
complete this gem.
11511948 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . .55.00
El Tigre—Jeff Jarvis. El Tigre is composed
in the songo style, which is frequently heard
in salsa music. Syncopated figures are
carefully notated in the rhythm parts to ensure
authenticity and to support the horn lines. The
memorable melodies and sturdy harmonies are
supported by the active rhythm section. This
engaging chart will be a unique addition to any
concert or festival program.

Feels So Good—Chuck Mangione/arr. Victor
Lopez. Only rarely does a jazz tune cross over
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 tenor part as well. Victor's arrangement
brings 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!
2480787 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . .52.00
Fury Lease!—Ludwig Van Beethoven/arr.
Summer Campbell. Beethoven gets fired
up in this very creative Latin extravaganza!
It contains quotes from many European art
music pieces. A hip samba groove seamlessly
transitions to swing and back to samba with
solos for conga and alto sax. The lead trumpet
plays a high D.
11515287 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . .70.00
I Wanna Be Like You—Sherman & Sherman/
arr. John Wasson. What happens when one of
the hottest swing bands in the land cuts loose
on a Disney classic? Cranked up excitement!
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy takes a mambo spin on
I Wan'na Be Like You from "The Jungle Book,"
and with lots of tutti writing, your band will get a
real powerhouse sound!
2433704 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . .55.00
It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That
Swing)—Duke Ellington/arr. Ralph Ford. You
may think this very clever chart is all swing, but
it begins as Latin then alternates with a swing
feel. The tempo is bright at around 190-200 bpm
with suggested solos for trumpet and tenor sax,
a few piano montunos, and a big shout chorus
leading to a huge ending closing this fine chart
appropriately. Additional wind parts and a
vibes part are included for optional expanded
instrumentations. Highly recommended!
10756380 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . .48.00
Just Friends—John Klenner/arr. Scott
Ragsdale. The jazz classic Just Friends is
set here as a trombone section feature with
a samba groove. This superb chart with a
lyrical melody also features written or ad lib
solo space for trombones 1 and 2, excellent
and accessible trombone solis, and a lead
trumpet range to written A above the staff.
Give the 'bones some of the spotlight with this
exceptional arrangement!
