Inspired by Gene Puerling, this new samba arrangement of the well-known Disney classic will be a favorite in your vocal jazz library. This chart works well with just a rhythm section, but cooks even more with the addition of five horns. The piece progresses to a swingin' half-time shout bridge, followed by a vamp of overlapping parts (requiring at least eight vocalists) for a dynamic finish. This chart is the perfect opener or closer! SATB with rhythm section and optional five horn parts, including two trumpets, two saxes and one trombone.
