Commissioned by the St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute Jazz Ensemble of Kenmore, NY, this spirited Latin original for advancing groups is a real showstopper! The title in Portuguese means a samba school, referring to a club or dancing school. Throughout the year samba schools hold events, the most important being the annual spectacle known as Carnival. The groove here alternates between samba and partido alto rhythms. As the music plays, you can almost see the dancers in their elaborate, colorful costumes. The chart has been meticulously crafted to ensure that the rhythm section faithfully captures authentic Brazilian grooves. Solo space is reserved for alto sax and trumpet, and a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included. Duration 5:25.

If I Gave My Heart is a gorgeous swing ballad for younger bands. Lots of ensemble writing will help the band learn to play together, but there is also space for a short sax soli and a short brass soli. No improv is required, but your piano player gets to shine with lots of written fills between melody phrases. While written at an easy level, If I Gave My Heart is perfect for any ensemble that wants a ballad and a chance to take a little pressure off those chops!! Keep swingin’!

Teddy’s Mood is a laid back minor blues that alternates between a two feel and swinging four feel. It features an alto sax solo along with plenty of open space for additional soloists (suggested solos are also provided.) The saxophone section has a one chorus soli followed by the full ensemble swinging hard to take it home. This is an excellent opportunity for young improvisers to get their feet wet while playing over minor blues changes.
