Product Description

This a very real Latin in the style of Perez Perado. It is in mambo style and like all Latin it must have a claves player
full time or is is not Latin. It is not difficult but requires good intonation and a drummer that plays the correct rhythm--not the usual heavy on 3 rock.

If you want a Maynard or Buddy chart, look elsewhere. This series of charts uses nothing more complicated than eighth notes, are not frantic or screamers, extreme ranges and are hemi-demi-semi-quaver free. They depend on intonation and the players being not intimidated by what he is asked to play. There is no contest to see how high you can go before you need oxygen , how many notes you can play in 9 seconds or before your bell overheats , or how long it takes the audience to cover their ears
Relaxed and confident players always play more in tune. Good harmonies, lines and realistic rhythm patterns will produce a good result that will swing and be enjoyed by player and listener alike.
