Celebracion del sol

What better way to welcome the sunshine of spring than with an upbeat calypso-style tune? The chart follows the basic AABA rhythm changes with catchy syncopated licks, musical conversations among sections of the band, and two shout choruses. It concludes with a massive crescendo in the last three bars, peaking at the final note – time to celebrate! As with all First Place for Jazz charts, all players have the opportunity to improvise a solo using only notes of the familiar concert F major scale or play the suggested solo provided in all student parts.
