Salsero Viejo

Los Angeles composer/arranger Jeff Jarvis has been involved in the salsa scene for many years, hence the title of this new original, which refers to a veteran salsa musician. This medium-advanced level chart includes written montunos for the pianist and written tumbao lines for the bassist, both essential components of the style. To further ensure authenticity, suggested cascaras rhythms are cued into the drum part. Alto sax has solo space at the beginning and during the chart, and an open solo section is provided to feature your drummer, or solo trades between the drummer and another percussionist playing congas or timbales.
