Afro Blue

Mongo Santamaria/Paul Murtha/Will Rapp

Although popular with jazz players (notably John Coltrane) this classic tune is treated here in an Afro Cuban jazz style. The percussion play an integral and featured role as the melody is passed around and punctuated with full ensemble hits. Distinctive and effective!

Instrumentation: Trumpets, French Horn, Trombones, Baritone, Tuba, Flute, Clarinets, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Mallets, Snare Drum, Multi Toms, Cymbals, Tonal Bass Drums.

For European bands B flat tuba parts are included. E flat tuba parts are available on request
