Imagine Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers sitting in with Tito Puente's big band, and you've got Blue Mambo!

The range of orchestration, from a jazz combo statement of the melody to full ensemble writing, will make it easy for your band to get in the groove of this tune. The accessible solo section has plenty of room, with optional solos for Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, and Guitar. This chart is an impressive opener for any concert or festival performance.

The following notes were prepared by Alan Hollander, former Edgemont High School Band Director: The opening fanfare leads to a lively English Country melody reminiscent of the writing of the English composer Gustav Holst. This theme is announced by the horns with subsequent solos by the oboe, trumpet and clarinet. The mood is light and airy; I remember my students humming and whistling the theme after our rehearsals. The short legato bridge leads back to the opening fanfare and a rousing conclusion. Edgemont Festival Overture was performed at a district festival with over 300 students, grades 5 through 12. Although the technical requirements were in the wheelhouse for the average high school band, one of the hidden assets is the accessibility of the inner parts, making it possible for the younger players to participate. Mr. Hollander has been an active oboist, conductor, and educator for over forty years. As a conductor, he has directed the American Wind Ensemble, the Westchester, NY Pops Band, the Larchmont Summer Symphony and as music director/conductor of the Westchester Band, one of the longest running community bands in New York State. He has taught in the public school systems of Hempstead and Scarsdale, New York, and at Hofstra University. He is currently an associate professor at Lehman College-CUNY, and is preparing a book titled How to Build a Community Band.The following notes were prepared by Alan Hollander, former Edgemont High School Band Director:The opening fanfare leads to a lively “English Country” melody reminiscent of the writing of the English composer Gustav Holst.
