Nikki's Samba

Nikki's Samba  (Rob Catlender)

I wrote this smiling samba for my oldest daughter Nikki when she was 5 years old.

It starts with a rhythm section intro after which the

theme is exposed in an A(7 bars) A(8 bars) BA form. In the middle there is room for a trumpet or bugel solo and when the BA form is completed the band stops and a cowbell and 2nd trombone take over. The first trombone joins, then the 3rd, and so on and after a while we have the complete band samba-ing towards the end.

The audio below is with computer-samples.
