SKU: A0.1614529
By Etta Moten (Astaire & Rogers). Composed by Gus Kahn and Vincent Youmans. Arranged by Marc Donatelle. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Chamber, Jazz, Latin, Swing. 32 pages. Marc Donatelle #1183900. Published by Marc Donatelle (A0.1614529).Carioca comes from a 1933 popular song, music composed by Vincent Youmans and lyrics by Edward Eliscu and Gus Kahn.
It was featured in the 1933 film Flying Down to Rio and danced by the famous Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
This arrangement for brass quintet begins in the traditional Latin jazz style (featuring an extended tuba solo), with a sudden transition to swing that includes solo breaks for the trumpets, horn and trombone, followed by a shout chorus. The Latin style returns with a flourish to the finish.
The chord changes are included on the solos, as well as the walking bass on the tuba allowing for improvisation. The solos could also be opened up.
Note that the high trumpet 1 passage at the beginning and ending is optional.
Backstory:
My mother grew up with and LOVED movies from the ‘30s and ‘40s! She could look at a chorus line of dancers and point out who many were, what other movies they were in, who they married, and any juicy scandal she read in the gossip magazines! Although she said she really preferred Gene Kelley, she did appreciate the elegance of Astair/Rogers.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
