Here is a unique and somewhat moody ballad featuring trombone lead. The colorful rhythm section scoring and rich harmonic structure make this an appealing change of pace for festivals or concerts.

This sophisticated and highly infectious mambo is written in a moderate tempo and features solo space for trumpet and alto sax (flute part optional). Originally composed for the Mario Bauza Orchestra the title refers to Mario'sdog Piro (“Para Piro” in English is “For Piro”). It was ultimately recorded on a tribute album to Mario by the band Cubarama produced by Paquito D'Rivera on Termidor Records. This new edition iscompletely re-edited and engraved with explicitly written out rhythm section parts. (Recorded by Cubarama)

Always the experimenter looking for new ideas and sounds Michael Mossman has combined 2 Latin styles in this unique composition. Displaying a nice melodic sense and skill in orchestration Michael writes interesting parts for allsections and also includes a trumpet solo and trombone soli in this great-sounding chart.
