Tropical Sunrise is a laid-back bossa-nova tune. With a relaxed and unhurried feel, students will learn to pay close attention to dynamic contrasts, especially on the soft side. The capital of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, is known for parties and festivals but it has a quieter side as well. This piece reflects that softer edge.

Rio Nido is based on the bossa nova groove, which originated in Brazil. The feel is relaxed throughout, and played in a very unhurried manner. The song has an AABA form, with the melody being passed between the brass and woodwind sections every eight bars before a short interlude into the solo section. Following the solos, a brief shout chorus is heard before the song recaps at the bridge. The piece concludes with a tag of the last four bars of the song, ending on a unison pitch.

The Iguana Returns is a grade 2 funk chart. The nomadic iguana (first introduced in a previous release in this series, Please Don't Climb On The Iguana) is a steel sculpture outside of the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul. Since the earlier piece, the Science Museum has changed locations, so the iguana had to leave for a time. It has since returned to its new home, looking forward to new adventures in the future.

The Cat's Meow is straight-ahead swinger in the same vein as Benny Golson's classic Killer Joe. The melody is a very simple riff that repeats at different levels over the course of the form. The cat who inspired the tune is a furry exotic Persian named Berlioz who took up residence in the composer's house. Like most cats, his life consists mainly of eating and sleeping. He most often resides at the top of the stairs, and never bothers to try to get out of the way.

Let It Groove is all about the pocket! The feeling of the chart is reminiscent of Herbie Hancock's Watermelon Man or Lee Morgan's Sidewinder. The bass line is anchored to the bass drum pattern, and the enclosed rhythm exercises are an excellent tool for creating a cohesive rhythmic concept throughout the band. The solo section is a 12 bar Bb blues and can be opened up to include several soloists.
