Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Samba - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

Mineyo (Samba Min) was written by saxophonist Tim Ishii for his daughter. The arrangement remains faithful to the playful nature of the original tune, with solo space for anyone in the band. Beginning with an explosion of energy, the arrangement quickly settles down into a paired-down treatment of the melody. As the second time through the melody approaches, the full ensemble joins in the fun. Next comes solos, a shout section, open solo space for your drummer or percussionist, and a retun to the melody for an energetic finish. This arrangement works great as a concert opener or closer! Lead trumpet: E above the staff (once - other than that it stays at a C or lower.) Med-difficult.
