Ponteio

This Brazilian favorite from the 1960s has been recorded by a variety of artists including composer Edu Lobo, Astrud Gilberto, Sergio Mendez, and Woody Herman. The appealing style lends itself here to a masterful treatment for full jazz ensemble by Eric Richards. The flowing melody moves seamlessly from section to section supported by the infectious groove. The solo space is open for any player. Suggested solos, chord/scale sheets in all keys, and fully notated bass lines and piano voicings are included.
