Here' s a well-crafted latin-rock composition that has received high marks from the middle school jazz ensembles that have performed the manuscriptö version. Lots of ensemble writing, an ostinato bass line and straightforward rhythms help make this chart easy to put together with a minimum of rehearsal time. Designed for concert or festival use, this is an excellent complement to a blues/swing chart or a ballad.

This is music at the Grade 1 jazz level that correlates with specific units in the Jazz Basics improvisation method, as well as with Jamey Aebersold's Volume 1: Jazz: How to Plan and Improvise. It is performance music that works with flexible instrumentation requiring as few as four horns and piano, bass and drums. Each piece includes a CD with the full performance as well as solo practice tracks. All the rhythm section parts are fully notated and include chord symbols. This swing chart correlates with Jazz Basics, Unit 5 and with Jamey Aebersold's great play-along Volume 1: Jazz: How to Play and Improvise. It incorporates the same FMI - Ebmi - Dmi chord sequence that is the basis for much of Jamey's first volume.

Your young rhythm section will really be able to dig in with this funky, cut-time rock chart. It features bold melodies along with some compelling counter lines from the Saxes and Guitar. Driving rock is at the heart of this piece, but there are several passages with winds only that provide some subtle contrast. To add a different dimension to your band’s sound, if you have an Electric Guitar player, have them experiment with some effects when playing a line with the Saxes or Trombones.

This chart comes out of the gate swinging with a solid, punchy brass line. The distinctive harmonic structure of the first few choruses is definitely more than just I - IV – V, but the melody is very straight forward. After the Trumpets take a turn with the melody, the Saxes follow with a wonderfully harmonized version of the tune and then echo the opening brass figure. There is a great soft section that will demonstrate your ensemble’s dynamic range. If you need something a little outside the box this piece is worth a look.

In addition to the demonstration recording of this tune, be sure to check out the exuberant video by the composer, Bill Cantos, with his own band. He calls the music he wrote for this album new standards for the new Millennium and this funky cha-cha certainly warrants that description. Some lush orchestration and creative orchestration make this chart shine.
