About this item
If you're looking for a nice jazz samba for advancing jazz bands, look no further! The strong melody and buoyant rhythmic groove will make it a hit with bands and audiences. Suggested solos for all are provided for the open section, and the score notes explain that articulations should be light, crisp and snappy -- that generating excitement with precision rather than volume is the intent. Rhythm section parts are notated with chords cued.
