Mike Tomaro's Latin charts are well known for being challenging and exciting to play, and this sizzling samba is no exception. Playing at the indicated tempo (half note = 116 in cut time) is important to obtain the intended energy -- once established, the tempo and energy should not diminish and all horn figures should be played on top of the beat. Trombone and guitar carry the soloing duties, and rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued. Duration ca. 8:30.

A gorgeous, introspective ballad adapted from the combo version recorded on Mike's latest CD, this solo feature for alto or soprano sax presents all member of medium-advanced bands with sufficient challenges. Two fortissimo climaxes punctuate the otherwise delicate nature of this piece, and short cadenzas for three soloists (piano, soprano sax, drums) in the opening bars give it a unique start. In his score notes, Mike emphasizes the importance of playing with rhythmic precision in a chart that combines a slow tempo with 16th-note figures.
