The Florida Bandmasters Association commissioned this chart for the 2023 All-State Jazz ensemble. This is an authentically-written Salsa that truly fits its title, beginning with a poignant, written piano solo that transitions into a medium tempo Cuban Son Montuno (aka Salsa) before turning up the fire with an uptempo Songo groove. All rhythm parts are clearly written out.
