n Blackbird—Lennon & Mccartney/arr. Tomaro.
Perhaps one of the Beatles' lesser known
tunes, Blackbird remains one of their most
creative and memorable. Mike Tomaro's
smooth setting uses a blend of light funk
along with a brief samba section to create a
truly outstanding effect. The theme is stated
simply in the beginning by trumpet, followed
by an array of orchestrational textures and
harmonies. Highly recommended!

students and audiences will love this burning
swing tune made famous by Royal Crown
Revue. The groove is set up with a drum solo
laying down a Sing, Sing, Sing Krupa feel before

leads into a sax soli section. Next, the trumpet
section is featured on a soli section before a
half-time feel gives the brass a chance to shine.
Returning to the original groove, a written solo
for tenor sax heightens the excitement. Finally,

JAZZ ENSEMBLE
H Conga—Enrique Garcia/arr. Allen Gray. Made
famous by Gloria Estefan and The Miami Sound
Machine, this Latin work is sure to be an exciting
highlight of any performance. After a short
introduction by the saxes and rhythm section
the rhythm section continues to establish the
groove until the whole band enters with the hot
melody and accompaniment. Every section gets
a change to shine and there is a section where
the lead trumpet can solo on a written part, or
the entire trumpet section can play it as a soli.
Containing no improvisation, this chart will bring
down the house with its infectious style and
rhythmic content!
