Ardiente—Michele Fernandez. All the fire
and spice you need to get the party going
- this solid Latin chart for developed high
school ensembles begins with an emotional
rubato piano introduction, then the salsa
groove kicks in and the chart takes off from
there. There are lots of interesting lines in
all the wind parts, and the rhythm section
parts are very detailed. With open solos for
all instruments and some over-the-top hip
guitar licks, this is the real deal!

Armando's Rhumba—Chick Corea/
arr. Mike Tomaro. From Chick Corea's
My Spanish Heart album, this tune is not
really a "rhumba," but rather an extremely
energetic samba. This chart features
dynamic and challenging passages for the
entire ensemble and also ample room for
soloists. Nice chart!
10283046 Jazz Ensemble. . . MA 65.00
Black Orpheus—Luiz Bonfa/arr. Eric
Richards. Here's a super high-energy
Latin samba arranged by Eric Richards
that is the perfect opener or closer for any
performance. There are solo opportunities
for tenor sax, baritone sax, 2nd trombone
and drums. This is a powerhouse chart that
features tons of cookin' rhythm, a melody
that floats above great counterpoint and a
magnificent trumpet section soli that really
brightens things up. Exciting festival chart!
10011985 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . A 62.00
Blue Rondo a la Turk—Dave Brubeck/
arr. Kris Berg. The essence of the original
is captured here with this updated version
of Dave Brubeck's classic tour de force in a
big-band setting! The meter alternates from
a 9/8 straight Afro-Cuban feel to a more
relaxed 12/8 swing style, and they blend
perfectly with Brubeck's rhythmic patterns.
There's solo space for alto 1, trumpet 2 and
drums, and lead trumpet goes up to written
C above the staff. This is an exceptional
chart for festival or concert!

Fire)—Drew Zaremba. Here is a fiery Latin
baiao chart that works as a great opener

and driving percussive energy, this chart
will leave audiences speechless. Optional
written solos for tenor sax 1 and trumpet
2, plus space for drum solos and auxiliary
percussion.

grooving bossa for medium to advanced
jazz ensembles.

Caravan—Duke Ellington/arr. John
Wasson. Recently featured in the motion
picture "Whiplash," this barnburner by
outstanding arranger John Wasson is pure
Latin fire from start to finish! This chart will
have your students begging to practice.
With the opportunity for an extended
alto sax solo, this Rolls Royce of an
arrangement is definitely top-notch!

Dos amigos (Theme and Variations)—
George Shutack. The flowing melodic line
is set over a strong Spanish groove; with
a floating feel as a foundation, the strong
melody couples perfectly with the solid
ensemble writing to create an abundance of
teaching opportunities. A perfect change-up
for any program or festival.
11615270 Jazz Ensemble. . . MA 60.00
El Abrazo—Alan Baylock. The beautiful
ballad beginning and ending in this Alan
Baylock original will bring tears to your eyes.
The chart then moves to an exciting samba
around 110 bpm for the half note with
occasional swing sections interspersed.
The lead trumpet range is to written high
C and there is an extended tenor sax
solo with chord changes. You won't forget
this chart, it's special in every way. A truly
stunning chart, this one will provide plenty of
opportunities for your band to shine - it's the
perfect festival chart. Highly recommended!

Eleanor Rigby—Lennon & McCartney/
arr. Eric Richards. Commissioned by the
U.S. Army Jazz Ambassadors, this Eric
Richards chart shines new light on the
beauty and depth of this classic Beatles hit.
An up-tempo Brazilian groove gives way to
hints of samba and songo, but always with
a smooth and laid-back feel. A piano solo
is featured off the top, followed by a trio of
tenor, trombone and guitar on the head, and
later solo space for one or more of these
players. A brief nod to the classical feel of
the original Beatles track helps build to a
climatic shout for the full ensemble. Nice!
10343782 Jazz Ensemble. . . . . A 65.00
The Extra Mile—Lars Halle. Featuring
a duet of alto sax and flugelhorn on
the melody, this bright samba moves
effortlessly into a swing groove for the B
section of the tune. The distinctive harmonic
vocabulary of the chart helps make it a
standout at this level. There is solo space
for tenor and bari followed by a soft and
rhythmic ensemble section.

Fiesta!—Vince Gassi. Your quest for a
brilliant high-energy Latin chart will end with

sections, engaging harmonies, structure,

section parts. Stunning!
