Sabor de Cuba
(Taste of Cuba)
By Victor López
Item: 00-45077
Series: Jazz Band
Grade 3.5
Ensemble: Jazz Ensemble
Format: Conductor Score & Parts
A ""Taste of Cuba"" for sure. A very hot Latin chart premiered at the Midwest Band Clinic, 2015, this is a show-stopper chart for a strong band. The chart is jam-packed with lines that bounce from section to section, including a suggested written tenor sax solo with backgrounds. Lead trumpet range is to written A above the staff with an optional high D. Two auxiliary percussion parts that really make this chart come alive plus optional flute and vibraphone too. (3:39)

[@balmadina363]

First played this on the first day in my schools bigband on the alto and at that time that score seemed impossible to me. It then grew on me insanely quickly and it was the first time i really practiced for something because of true passion for the music. It became my favourite score in all my time of playing and now after begging my band teacher for years, we are finally playing it again. Now i've switched to the tenor and it is the biggest honor for me to play the 32 bar solo in this song. It is my grand goodbye to the band that i've loved and looked up to my entire youth and it's safe to say that no song has ever had as much of an impact on me as a musician as "Sabor de Cuba".

[@dhanielrhamirez7706]

I hope that all went well with the solo

[@jyrikgaulderson783]

Man the vibe in this song is so strong

[@bunnycroxx2886]

as a bass player, the bass part never gets boring aswell as the piano too.

Composers should take advantage of the Bass Trombone's pedal tones more often.

Im a trombone and Im soloing apart from the tenor also soloing and we’re taking this 110 cut time and I can say this is the most fun pieces we’ve played (I’m 8th grade btw)

It’s not even that fast. If you want fast look at the swing section of Buddy Rich's Channel One Suite from the Pacific Jazz Years album. It's like over 260 bpm

[@shiningarmor2838]

TKnight01 I played drumset on that tune not so long ago, it was definitely the highlight of the show.
