Second Wind
Grade 3
Latin
$50
"Second Wind" is a latin chart that is written to the flavor of Freddie Hubbard's "Little Sunflower." This tune is a great choice for the director wishing for a chart that is closer to a Grade 2.5 (a little more mature than a Grade 2, but not overly-difficult). Featured in this tune is a trio with Flugelhorn, Trombone, and Tenor Sax on the melody. The chart keeps a very "cool" mood until it changes to a funkier 2-feel at the bridge! Also utilized in this chart is a hip, yet very approachable, layered shout section. Written solos, as well as changes, are available for the saxophone and trumpet (flugel) soloist. This chart features: Written Piano Voicings and bass part and "Solo" Trax" for improvisation practice.
Trumpet Range is A5.
