Seven Mountains Mambo

Inspired by the great mambos of Spanish Harlem, "Seven Mountains Mambo" is a catchy tune with a danceable groove. The 3-chord solo section is accessible for developing improvisors and experienced players alike.

This arrangement is based on the jazz ensemble piece "Mambo Over the Mountain", recorded by Rick Hirsch's Big Ol' Band (as excerpted in the recording above).

As part of the combo-flex series, this chart works with many combinations of horn players, and with as few as 1 horn + rhythm section.
