Inspired by the great Latin-jazz charts of the past Madrid offers a new chapter in this great big band tradition. No section is spared as all instruments of the ensemble are featured at different times. The work combines elements of modern jazz with the fiery elements of the Latin-jazz genre. The end really kicks it up a notch as the tempo and feel switch to Latin rock. This one is hot! (4:10)

Written to feature your drummer or percussionists this driving latin jazz chart can easily be expanded to showcase the set player the optional conga or any other latin instruments you might like to add. Strongly consider this chart for your festival or contest program.

From the author of last year's festival favorite Otra Vez here is a hot little latin number to warm up your concert crowd. The solo spots are written in the lead alto and 2nd trumpet part with lots of supporting backgrounds written into the other voices. Limited ranges make this an easy number to put together. The lead trumpet only needs a written G.

Amazing Grace never sounded so sweet! After a traditional chorale opening things get cookin’ with a modern salsa groove. While a great opportunity to feature your rhythm section the winds also have their chance to shine with an unaccompanied soli section. A written solo is provided for alto sax and this one will work with reduced instrumentation. You’ve heard this tune in a dixie style — now add a little Latin spice for a sizzling performance! (3:15)
