Originally done by Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, here's an accessible adaptation that will expand the popularity of this very exciting Latin chart. This samba is played around 90 bpm in cut-time with written or improvised solos for alto 1 and trumpet 2, and a trumpet 1 range to written G on top of the staff. It simmers nicely throughout and the percussion interludes are a blast! There are two auxiliary percussion parts, plus optional parts for expanded instrumentations. Highly recommended!
