Originally recorded by the Bill Watrous big band back in the '70s John La Barbera brings us this sizzling version of his classic samba-style composition adapted for six horns. (Grade 4)

Although Jobim penned a wealth of great Latin tunes this standard is unquestionably one of his best. Paul Murtha's smooth and silky chart alternates between the saxes and trumpets on the melody with solo space provided for altosax. Although written with young players in mind even advanced groups will sound great playing this exceptional arrangement.

A fiery and imaginative arrangement of this classic tune that demands attention from beginning to end. A great way to showcase your entire band!

What a great change of pace for your next concert! Based on Carnaval in Brazil a holiday known for its brilliant color and pageantry Carnaval evokes the exciting sounds of this culturally rich part of the world. Cabasa and agogo bells help set the mood for the silky-smooth bossa nova and every section gets some feature time. Great writing!
