A big band chart that is well within th reach of most school big bands, and features the Vibraphone.   This classic Lionel Hampton standard was also inspired by Latin vibist Cal Tjader.  Set to a Bossa Nova style, the chart includes an improvisational section with both chords, and a written-out solo.  Ranges are very reasonable, and there are no real rhythmic challenges.  The only challenge is getting the proper Bossa Nova feel in the rhythm section.
Bands all over the country showcase their mallet players during marching band season, so why not do so in the jazz band.

This is the first of my series Focus on the Vibes..
