This dynamic arrangement is set in a driving Latin style (quasi-Samba with an Afro-Cuban feel during the bridge). It features a jazz soprano vocalist (range C4-F5) which can also be performed an 8ve lower to accommodate a tenor voice. Piano, electric guitar, electric bass, and drumset are the driving force for the orchestra.
The demo recording features a short improvisation section with a piano solo but this expanded arrangement for full orchestra is designed to feature an electric guitarist. The solo section can linger until orchestral backgrounds are cued. With the extended improvisation, the performance time is approximately 5:00. Suited for intermediate to advanced performers.
