Paquito de Habana

Take your audience on a trip to Brazil with this original Samba written in tribute to  Cuban jazz legend Paquito D'Rivera. Like much of D'Rivera's music, "Paquito de Habana" has a catchy tune and a refreshing feel-good vibe for your saxophone quartet. 

Optional ad-lib solos for your Alto and Bari players are included, with optional notated solos for non-improvisers. 

"Paquito" was composed to be programmed either as a stand-alone piece or in suite with its two sister works, "whatever Stan wants" and "Mancini digs that mambo".
