A great title and great chart! Chili Today, Hot Tamale is set in a samba groove in cut-time at around 90 bpm. It's accessible for a solid easy to medium grade level, there are written solos for trombone 1 and tenor sax 1, optional parts for expanded instrumentations, and a trumpet 1 range going to written A above the staff with optional lower notes. This chart is fun to play and loaded with energy!
