(Level V) Originally recorded by Steps Ahead, this tune is arranged for big band featuring solos by tenor I, trumpet III and drums. This chart will present a challenge for the brass section, but if the players are advanced, the results will be rewarding. Also, the saxes double on flute. The feel moves back and forth between Latin/rock and samba. Exciting concert material! Recorded on UNC's Alive XI. (8 Brass)
