DESCRIPTION:
I first heard this when our school's Brazilian Ensemble performed it at one of our local jazz clubs. I was blown away by the groove and challenged myself to translate it for a big band. Bill Cunliffe and Brian Scanlon really interpret what I had in mind. Brother Joe and Aaron Serfaty capture the traditional percussion/drums trade associated with Jao Bosco's original arrangement.

Solos: Bill Cunliffe, Elect. Keyboard; Brian Scanlon, Alto Sax; Joe La Barbera, Drums; Aaron Serfaty, Percussion
