Malaguena

This epic treatment of the Latin classic makes a killer chart for experienced jazzers. From the understated opening Latin groove, this chart quickly builds to a powerful and eloquent musical statement. Next, there's an infectious Latin groove in the rhythm section to set up a new tempo, followed by a written or improvised tenor sax solo featuring some smokin' background licks. Then the chart cools off into another smoldering section before speeding up all the way to the end for a massive powerhouse finish. There's lots of room for strong brass sections to really blow, and the lead trumpet part's highest note is a D. Here's the centerpiece for a concert or festival program!
