H Afro BlueMongo 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.

H
Afro Blue (Little Big Band)Mongo Santamaria/
arr. Michael Mossman. Even though this is scored

an Afro-Cuban 6/8 groove, this marvelous chart
includes solos for tenor or trumpet. Instrumentation:
3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone, rhythm section

to the entire ensemble. The overall style is laid back

that will show off your band's ability to play and
change from style to style!

l Blue BossaKenny Dorham/arr. Dallas Burke.
Dallas Burke's treatment of the Kenny Dorham
standard sizzles from top to bottom and is sure
to be a hit with more experienced ensembles.
The familiar melody is featured as a trumpet
solo then repeated by the trumpet section before
moving into a written or ad lib trumpet solo. There
is a written or improvised alto sax solo before a
duet from trumpet and trombone to recap the
theme before the tune takes a sharp turn into a
swingin' ensemble section. The chart returns to
the sizzling bossa feel to close out this intense
Latin burner!

n Blue Bossa (Little Big Band)Kenny Dorham/
arr. Mark Taylor. Sounding full and richly varied,

n C-Jam Blues (a la Mambo)Duke Ellington/
arr. Michael Mossman. Here is an excitedly
different take on this Ellington swing classic
done in a mambo style! Including a slightly
twisted melody to fit the style, Latin master Michael
Philip Mossman cleverly adds counterlines, a
montuno section, solos for alto or trumpet, and a
vamp that starts soft and then gains momentum.
We think even the Duke would have liked
