Difficulty level	2
Additional info/contents	style: Latin - Samba grade: Medium weight: 1 lb. Originally recorded by Julian 'Cannonball' Adderley on his album Domination and inspired by Oliver Nelson, Bob Curnow's adaptation/arrangement of 'Introduction to a Samba' features the alto saxophone and trumpet duet stating the melody supported by a traditional samba feel. There is plenty of solo space for alto saxophone and trumpet as they further enjoy the spotlight. The drummer then has a short solo which leads back to a restatement of the theme. All ranges are very moderate. This chart is a great addition to any program needing a solid Latin piece to provide variety and spice! 5-4-4-3
