Product Description

This is a contemporary Latin jazz arrangement of the traditional hymn "Amazing Grace."
Difficulty is Grade 4, Medium Advanced.
The arrangement uses the Afro-Cuban 6/8 Bembé rhythm and features exciting layered 6/8 vs. 3/4 polyrhythms.
The trumpets go up to high D, but that D only occurs twice in an octave unison passage. Trumpet 1 and 2 may play down an octave there if necessary.
Trombone 1 goes to three ledger line G.
In addition to the standard 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, guitar, piano, bass and drums I have provided optional parts for flute and vibraphone.
