Mark Taylor's chart on this early composition by Chick Corea starts with the saxes playing the rubato opening, followed by a moderate tempo Latin/rock groove. The main theme is stated first by a front line of alto, tenor and trumpet before the entire ensemble gets into the act. The suggested or improvised solos are for trumpet and piano in what will be a terrific introduction to this composer for your players!
More than just a showcase for your lead trumpet, this monster chart is a powerful statement for the entire ensemble. Opening with the quasi flamenco strains and followed by a melancholy trumpet solo, the first big ensemble hit is guaranteed to move the audience back a few rows! Great writing for all sections and especially the rhythm section.
