Afro Blue
Jazz Ensemble Library – Grade 4Made famous by John Coltrane, but treated here in a more traditional Afro-Latin style, this is something a little different for jazz ensemble. As with all Mossman charts, the rhythm section is meticulously notated to insure the correct style. The 3/4 pattern throughout draws heavily on African influences and the melody is masterfully passed from section to section. A single pentatonic scale works for the solo section making this a wonderful vehicle for involving many soloists.SKU: HL07010987 -

Bolivian Fantasy
As the title implies, this Michael Mossman original captures a Bolivian style utilizing various layers of sound and shifting moods. Trombones are featured first, but every section of the band gets a workout on this stunning piece. A stop-time section launches the tenor sax solo, and an open percussion feature sets up the powerful finish with the entire ensemble.

C-Jam Blues (ala Mambo!)
Here is an excitingly different take on this Ellington swing classic done in a mambo style! Including a slightly twisted melody to fit the style, Latin master Michael Philip Mossman cleverly adds counterlines, a montuno section, solos for alto and trumpet, and a vamp that starts soft then gains momentum. We think even the Duke would have liked this distinctive chart!SKU: HL07011223 -

Cubauza
This exciting Afro-Cuban composition is the opening cut from the 1993 album 944 Columbus, the final recording by Mario Bauza, one of the most influential figures in the development of Latin Jazz. The title comes from combining the words “Cuban” and “Bauza” and features a bebop influence interpreted by the Afro-Cuban rhythm section. This newly edited and engraved edition is a “must have” for mature bands. (Recorded by Mario Bauza)SKU: HL7011790
