Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Opening with a Latin feel before moving between Latin and swing, this grade 2.5 conductor score asks the ensemble to handle clear feel changes at a bright approximate tempo of 190-200 BPM. The roughly 3-minute-20-second arrangement includes written solo material for trumpet and tenor sax, piano montunos, a shout chorus, and a substantial closing ending. Rehearse the transitions as full-band moments rather than treating it as a single-feel swing chart.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Band rehearsals focused on moving cleanly between Latin and swing feels.
- Performances needing prepared trumpet and tenor sax solo passages.
- Short jazz ensemble programming with a shout chorus and emphatic ending.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Programs needing the arrangement to remain in one continuous swing feel.
