Despojo - Big Band

From the 1997 recording "Paquito D'Rivera and the UN Orchestra Live at MCG". Jazz MCG 1003.

The mysterious energy created by employing the Afro-Cuban 6/8 rhythm starting pp with the rhythm and percussion sections, joined by 'sotto voce' saxes and gradually building, provides a wonderful vehicle for solos.

There is also plenty of work in this arrangement for the whole band.

Separate Latin percussion part included.

Top note C for lead trumpet.

Key Eb.
