Double-Tall Iced Latte

Description

It’s time to take your band to it’s NYC first club date. This alto sax solo feature for your lead alto transforms your next gig into an event. This David Sanborn style chart will raise the energy and get your audience out of their seats. A challenging 7/4 groove and intricate ensemble writing will get your band ready for SNL. It also includes solo space for your tenor player to duel with your featured alto soloist.

I first composed the head for this chart when I was doing my master’s work at the University of Miami. At the time, there were no Starbucks in Miami, and nobody knew what a latte was. For my final year, my wife at the time had given me an espresso machine as a gift. I would make my special drink every day before I went off to class. It was my very own cup of Seattle heaven.
