Description
This chart is a feature for a charismatic male vocalist who can capture the stage with a big band behind hi, (and sing in Spanish!). It includes clarinet doubles for all the saxophones and plungers for the brass. There are a few short solo fills in tenor sax 2/clarinet 4. It has some intense and challenging lead trumpet lines as well, but runs short at just under 5 minutes. This arrangement is a great vessle for teaching the rhythms and style of bolero and 2/3 clase to a young and talented college band.
