Grade 3-3.5 Jazz Ensemble. Arranged in the style of the piece's original composer, Jorge Ben Jor, this medium-advanced level rendition of Mas Que Nada features different soli combinations of tenor sax and trombone to capture the vocal qualities of the melody before the whole ensemble chimes in. The piece uses LATIN SAMBA and SWING interchangeably to add rhythmic variety (look for system text call-outs for SAMBA and SWING). In addition to the sectional features previously described, this chart features solos for trumpet, alto sax, and drums. Auxiliary percussion usage, such as African/Latin drums and/or shakers, is encouraged. CONDUCTORS NOTE: The trombone pitch bends in measures 16 and 24 are supposed to be DOWN 1/2 STEP, not UP. There is apparently an error in Noteflight that does not display this correctly. I have not had luck figuring the issue out.
