M E D I U M - E ASY
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!
