My Centennial

Description

Recorded by The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra on the album Thad Jones Legacy, this blazing chart, meant to be played as fast as possible, opens with a repeating vamp featuring horn players on Latin percussion instruments. Then excitement builds as horns enter a few at a time until the whole ensemble reaches the first tutti chorus. Solos for tenor and drums (with horns playing percussion again) are included, and the finale is swift and powerful. Duration 5:00.
Style: Fast Jazz Samba
