El Gato Gordo (The Fat Cat) [Alf:00-JE9819C]

Introduce your young jazz ensemble to the Latin sound with this fun original by Roy Phillippe. Roy has used a standard Latin rhythm pattern and progression as the basis of this teaching piece for less experienced jazz ensembles. He has included solo opportunities for trumpet and alto sax, which are completely written out. It's the perfect vehicle to teach this sizzling style! (2:55)
