Description
Invitation is a jazz standard performed by all the jazz greats. This swing chart arranged by Erik Morales has a mysterioso yet exciting character as it changes grooves from swing to Afro-Cuban then a faster swing all around 126 BPM. Check out the fine solis for saxes, trumpets, and trombones, and lead trumpet range is to written A above the staff. Optional vibes and flute parts and more. Power and excitement in a dynamic chart!

Amazing arrangement. I love the extended harmonies and crunchy voicings. I would love to talk to the arranger about some of his choices! The energy and momentum in the Afro Cuban and Latin sections are so compelling!
