Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Latin - Medium

Publisher: Jazz Lines Publications

This famous arrangement was written by Gil Fuller and recorded at one of the last sessions Dizzy Gillespie made for RCA Victor in 1947, before another recording ban took place during most of 1948. Manteca was co-written by Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo in 1947 and became one of the first examples of Afro-Cuban influences being incorporated into jazz. In 1949 J.J. Robbins & Sons published a stock arrangement of this tune that was nearly identical to the arrangement from Dizzy's book. This publication was revised in 2016 and is now based on an original set of parts from Dizzy Gillespie's library.
