Blue Bossa by Kenny Dorham/arranged by Mark Taylor

Little Big Band - Grade 4
Sounding full and richly varied, here is a great 6-horn chart on the timeless Kenny Dorham standard. The melody is first stated by a trio of trumpet, tenor and guitar followed by the full ensemble, then solo section for trumpet and tenor.

Was playing this in my jazz band while in grade 11, just listening it to remind myself of keeping tempo. I was playing drums.

Were playing this in Jazz, I play the Double Bass btw

[superspeedjumper]

I have a weird erk with this for feeling like it is dragging a bit, but besides that the composition is impeccable

[sergeip]

I think that this bossa nova actually slaps with the upright bass rather than the electric one... Am I wrong?

[johnockwell]

Is that the aussie sax player Mark Taylor ??

[EmmettReese-nhlg]

I play guitar in jazz band for this song

[AnonymousCat-qf]

Why does this suddenly stop at the end?
