Consider this great Frank Mantooth original for your contest or festival repertoire. The opening trumpet/bone chorale is an excellent intro before the up-tempo samba beat takes over. Frank features a small combo of tenor trumpet and bone on the head which should give you plenty of options for your solo section. Powerful block scoring sets up your drummer for some hot fills throughout. This pro-sounding chart has very reasonable range demands. A festival winner!

Grammy nominee Frank Mantooth offers this innovative arrangement of Perdido. The A section is presented as a half-time funk and the bridge as a double-time swing. Optional solos are written for alto 1 trumpet 4 and trombone 1. However Frank provides the opportunity to open this further to anyone familiar with the changes. A fresh sound of a classic standard!

Triple Grammy nominee Frank Mantooth has given this old standard a fresh but straight ahead swing treatment. Highlights include a sax section soli (with opt. trumpet 4) that is really hot and well worth a little wood-shedding time. Super for festival or contest.
