Set in an easy, modern samba feel, this chart for advancing groups is influenced by the music of Pat Metheny, Kenny Wheeler, and Maria Schneider. Smooth lines and satisfying chord voicings combine to create a gentle, yet complex conversation between sections of the jazz ensemble, and the use of cross-section writing promotes a strong sense of independence. The sophisticated and comfortable chord changes give the tenor sax and trumpet soloists a chance to stretch out and fully develop their ideas. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set, and rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued. Duration 8:20. Available in SmartMusic.
