Puerto del Sol

Veteran composer Carl Strommen has created a very playable, medium Latin chart that grooves along at about 144 bpm. With a strong introduction and a flowing unison melody, this nice original also features a solo section with optional suggested solos included or improvised as desired. The full ensemble joins in before the first solo which enters and exits with a highly effective and short unison montuno for the rhythm section. The pleasant melody, written solos, easy ranges and even eighth note feel throughout make this a winner with little rehearsal time. Written ranges: Trumpet 1 to A; Trombone to F; Alto Sax to C#. An optional flute part is included. This is a great Latin chart for mid level bands!
