Description
"A Day in the Life of a Fool (Manha de Carnaval)" arranged by Terry White is a bossa nova groove---but not just any bossa---this one stands above the rest. Superb harmonies, nice voicings, a nice sax soli, written solos for alto and trumpet, a big shout chorus, and all very tasty throughout. This chart also includes a variety of optional parts plus flute, clarinet, and vibes. Tempo is 128 BPM. (4:00)
