Composer/arranger Carl Strommen has proven he has the right stuff to write for younger bands. This light and easy Latin original starts simply and builds. As it builds, you may recognize the chord progression to the classic pop tune, Sunny. The cowbell helps maintain the energy and drive for this chart, the solos for alto sax and trumpet are written or ad-lib, and the brass ranges are modest. Additional percussion parts can be added if desired. The lower instruments have an easy yet meaty part in this chart. The bottom line is a quality chart that's fun to play, educational and well received by the audience. This title is available through SmartMusic. (3:50)

Inspired by the silversword plant, 'Ahinahina, that grows exclusively on Maui's dormant volcano, this composition depicts the majesty of the beautiful landscapes with a charming, quiet melody. It then develops into a whimsical jig-like statement and builds to a dramatic conclusion. (4:15) / Concert Band

Une latine cha-cha gorge à environ 132 BPM. Une hanche tutti montuno définit le cha-cha sentir dans l'intro suivie par la même montuno joué par le piano. Le tableau comporte écrit-out solos de sax ténor et trompette 2, et la gamme de trompette 1 est écrit à l'espace supérieur de E. Il est amusant, c'est latine et il sonnera super! / Ensemble De Jazz
