Program Notes
Samba Quente (warm samba) features a quiet trumpet and alto sax unison theme followed by an alto sax solo (written-out or improvised). Continuing on with trumpets in octaves, sax soli, and shout chorus, the samba ends with a return to the trumpet/alto theme, and fades away with pulsating Latin percussion. This tune will add some attractive variety to your program.
