Here's a fun and accessible original to acclimate your big band to the bossa nova style. Composed especially for developing groups, the chart features a memorable melody and an irresistible groove throughout. Abundant articulations and dynamics will help aspiring jazz players deliver an authentic Latin style performance. Highlights include a written or ad lib solo for trumpet, a great sax section soli, and a roaring shout chorus for a strong finish. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included. Duration 3:45.
