Rich DeRosa has created a marvelous Latin composition in a baião feel that is recorded by the North Texas Two O'Clock Lab Band. It comes out of the gate roaring. The very hip melody is stated by flute, soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, trumpet and piano.

This wonderful piece, written by Rich
DeRosa, was recorded on “Lab 2017” by the
UNT One O’Clock Lab Band. This “loose”
swinger features a tenor/bass duet melody, beautiful contrapuntal lines that
weave into lovely tutti passages. Each
horn section has its shining moments, making for a very enjoyable playing
experience for your band with reasonable brass ranges. And when the piece
really gets swingin’ during the bass and tenor saxophone solo sections, your
audience will love it. (5-5-5-4)

It would be difficult to find a more perfect holiday concert opener than this new arrangement by Rich DeRosa.
|
