Description
A "Taste of Cuba" for sure. A very hot Latin chart premiered at the Midwest Band Clinic, 2015, this is a show-stopper chart for a strong band. The chart is jam-packed with lines that bounce from section to section, including a suggested written tenor sax solo with backgrounds. Lead trumpet range is to written A above the staff with an optional high D. Two auxiliary percussion parts that really make this chart come alive plus optional flute and vibraphone too. (3:39)
