Alianza
“Alianza” is the Spanish word for alliance which is represented through the blending of Latin and swing styles with high energy. The main melody seamlessly integrates the two styles. There is a written-out jazz solo for 2nd trumpet and every section of the band is featured at some point. Lead trumpet range is to written A above the staff and there is an optional percussion part. A very hot Latin chart that will please everyone. (3:29)SKU: AL29794 -

Heavy metal big band! Guitar is the featured solo instrument in this very cool chart so if you, the band, and your drummer dig a rock vehicle to wake everyone up—“Steampunk” by Erik Morales is it. Lead trumpet range only to written G on top of the staff. A suggested written guitar solo is provided if needed. Totally exciting and a great tune for guitar and big band! (5:43)SKU: AL45078
