Night of the MojitoAndrew Neu. Reminiscent
of the music of Quincy Jones and Henry Mancini
in the 1960s, this catchy boogaloo for advancing
groups is a fun-loving fusion of Brazilian, Afro/
Cuban and American funk influences. The easy
solo changes are based on a minor blues with an

sax and trombone.

Red Clay arranged for developing jazz bands.

sax and trumpet 2. A more subtle and quieter
interlude adds variety and interest, and a unique
and effective rhythm section break featuring the
bassist leads to the return of the head. The trumpet
1 range is to written G on top of the staff and a nice
shout chorus further adds to the fun. Playable with

4 Salty PieKen Booker. Put this tasty hip-hop funk
chart on the menu and it's sure to be a favorite
with players and audiences alike! The introduction
is an immediate attention-getter, and the funky
melody is stated, then repeated and traded around
within the sections. It really opens up before the
solo space, and the drummer gets his licks in as
a transition to the solos. The solo section goes to
an accommodating swing feel behind the soloists
adding some nice contrast. The solos are for tenor
1, trumpet 2 and trombone 1. Optional parts for
flute, clarinet, horn in F and tuba are included in
the set. This chart is salty!
