Santa Monica is a spectacular Latin chart that burns right from the beginning. The opening melodic statement is introduced by a quartet of Alto Sax 1, Baritone Sax, Trumpet 2 and Guitar, with an optional flute part. The full band unison section builds and builds into the solo section. Coming out of the solo section, the band goes into stop-time, building and building to an exciting solo section playable by any of the five saxophones. The brass ranges are very moderate for this difficulty level, making the chart accessible to many ensembles. The rhythm section parts are fully notated with written brass ranges to: trumpet C6, trombone G4. A terrific festival chart!
