Victor Lopez does it again! Year after year, Victor writes fresh, hot Latin charts that are extremely fun to play. Starting with a cool bass and bari sax lick, this gem of a chart moves to a well-conceived 'head' with a trumpet and tenor sax lead. In the development of the tune, Victor switches from a songo to a salsa, and gives the solo opportunities to all the instruments. Believe it: no one else is writing Latin tunes that are this good! (3:55)

Victor Lopez's chart for this fabulous tune is now accessible for the medium-level player. Chuck Mangione's captivating melody is full of energy and excitement and features written or ad-libbed solos for trumpet and trombone. High note for lead trumpet is only written A and F for trombone. Victor includes a percussion part along with optional flute, horn, baritone horn, and tuba. A must-have arrangement!

Gordon Goodwin's stellar reputation as a writer is well deserved. A funky half-time shuffle groove for big band, Gordon's clever opening melody statement is played by altos and trumpets with solo space provided for piano, alto, or tenor sax. The burnin' shout chorus will make this an all time favorite chart for every library. Percussion part included. As recorded on Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band: Swingin' for the Fences. This chart grooves!

Arranger Frank Mantooth does it again. He takes a great ballad like Misty and twists and blends it into a terrific swing arrangement. Wait until you hear how well this tune works as a medium tempo swing. Solos (written or ad-lib) for alto, trumpet, and trombone are offered with backgrounds and optional repeats. The shout chorus brings it home. Full instrumentation plus a vibraphone part is included along with the usual optional flute, horn, and baritone horn parts. Outstanding writing on a great tune.
