¡Vámonos!
A Latin cha-cha groove at around 132 BPM. A hip tutti montuno sets the cha-cha feel in the intro followed by the same montuno played by the piano. The chart features written-out solos for tenor sax and trumpet 2, and the trumpet 1 range is to written E top space. It is fun, it’s Latin and it will sound great!SKU: AL40347 -

. . . And Goodnight
. . . And Goodnight is a grade 2 lyrical piece that would be a beautiful addition to any school music library. It was inspired by a Brahms lullaby; hints of it are heard throughout the piece and within the original melody. Ranges and rhythmic difficulties are modest which will allow for ample time in teaching the valuable musical concepts of phrasing, tuning, balance, dynamics, and most of all, expression.

‘S Wonderful
Start your band off swinging with this Gershwin standard arranged by Ralph Ford. The trombones start things off, add the brass section, then add a sax soli. Hold on, there’s more; into a tutti for the ensemble followed by written or ad-lib alto sax, trumpet and piano solos. Can you identify the clever quote? The shout chorus brings it all home. Superb writing throughout. (3:26)SKU: ALJEM02047 -
