Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)

One of Carlos Santana's more memorable compositions is this instrumental hit from 1976. Along with Santana's own recording, the version by saxophonist Gato Barbieri also became a hit that same year. This solo feature for tenor saxophone features a haunting melody and the sensual style of the original and is authentically recreated in this version for full jazz ensemble. The tenor solo is a combination of written melodies with options for improvisation. Here's a great way to feature your star tenor player!
