Edition: Jazz Combo Arrangement (1-3 Horns & Rhythm)

Description: Tango - Medium

Publisher: Hirsch Music Publications

A long-stemmed rose may will come in handy for this cheeky tune. Warning: Tango's sinewy melody will stick with you long after you play it—and your audiences may request an encore. The exotic harmonic minor flavor is approachable by developing improvisors and fun for more advanced players.

This arrangement is based on the jazz ensemble piece Tonight, We Tango recorded by Rick Hirsch's Big Ol' Band (as excerpted above).

As part of the combo-flex series, this chart works with many combinations of horn players, and with as few as 1 horn + rhythm section.
