Naima
By John Coltrane / arr. Craig Skeffington
00-33355
Jazz Band Series
Grade: 3
Coltrane's favorite and played by jazz musicians everywhere, this sweet bossa chart is magical. It opens with alto 1 on the written melody, then the sax section, followed by the brass taking the bridge section. Features include a very nice written tenor solo, lead trumpet range to written B-flat above the staff, and the usual optional parts. Perfect for any performance.
"The classic ballad receives a bossa nova treatment in this terrific arrangement . . . Dynamic contrast and a confident drummer will make this tune exciting."
- The Instrumentalist
