FULL SCORE
This moderate jazz samba features a flugelhorn/tenor sax
duet, an improvised piano solo, and an impressive full ensemble chorus
that sets the brass against a challenging soli for the sax section
and the solo flugelhorn. The comfortable tempo of this one allows
for some complex figures full of sixteenths and triplet sixteenths,
especially in the sax and solo flugelhorn parts, that look harder
than they are. If you want to introduce your band to some more rhythmically
demanding music that's not beyond their technical ability, this is
your chart.
The only improvised solo is for the piano. The colorful
solo changes stay mostly within F minor, making only short diversions
into other keys. It may take some practice to fully exploit all of
the harmonic subtleties of these changes, but the basic F minor framework
is suitable for a moderately skilled improviser.
