We Tango Tonight

A long-stemmed rose may well come in handy for this cheeky tune. Warning: We Tango Tonight, with its sinewy melody, will stick with you long after you play it, and your audiences may request an encore! Composed to feature an accordion soloist, it works well as a trumpet feature or a trumpet and tenor sax duo feature. The exotic harmonic minor flavor is approachable by developing improvisers and great fun for more advanced players. It's based on the big-band chart Tonight, We Tango. With its flexible instrumentation, this chart works with many combinations of horn players and rhythm section, and with as few as one horn and rhythm section.
