A driving samba with modest ranges and a fiery sax soli section, Porto Alegre features carefully notated rhythm section parts, suggested piano voicings, a transcribed solo for trombone and/or trumpet, and great input from every section. The entire ensemble gets in on the action and there are optional parts for flute/violin, clarinet and F horn, with the lead trumpet range to written F top of staff. A fresh approach to jazz for developing ensembles!

It's holiday mash-up time! This is a clever combination of the traditional carol with sultry Brazilian jazz a la Stan Getz. Two transcribed solos are provided for tenor sax and trumpet (or flugelhorn) that mirror the recorded solos, or they can be improvised as desired. The rhythm section parts are fully realized along with suggested piano voicings and bass lines. This is a relaxed and laid-back chart that features sectional solis and the full ensemble for a fresh and modern addition to holiday concert repertoire. Optional parts are included for flute/violin, clarinet and F horn, and the lead trumpet range is to written E top of staff. Highly recommended!
