Ensemble

Lou Bega has created a huge pop hit with his remake of this Latin standard by the mambo king, Perez Prado. Every section of the band gets a chance to play the catchy figures in this fun chart.

Recently one of the hottest tunes on the charts, this Latin gem was originally recorded by its composer, Perez Prado. Roger's arrangement features the catchy riffs and up-tempo excitement of the original.

Here is one of the signature dance numbers from the landmark musical West Side Story. Michael Mossman has created a masterful adaptation for jazz band using elements from the original and a creative touch of his own.

Recorded by the group Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, this is a great medium-tempo mambo to add a little Latin spice to your program. Roger's excellent chart features distinctive melodies, solos for tenor and/or trumpet, a percussion break and a hard-hitting final chorus. This is hot!

Recorded by Michael Jackson, this is one of the signature pop hits of the '80s. Skillfully arranged for young jazz ensemble to feature every section on the melody at some point, this chart will go together quickly and requires no ad lib. solos.

Opening softly and featuring an alto sax soloist, this chart builds intensity steadily throughout, leading to the powerful final chorus. Very effective arrangement of one of Michael Jackson's best-known and enduring hits. (Grade 4)
