Difficulty: Medium (great for junior high, high school or college steel bands)
This fun mambo was inspired by Dizzy Gillespie’s collaborations with the Cuban conga player, Chano Pozo. “Dizzy” also reflects the effect of a few edgy melodic/harmonic themes that might tilt the listener’s head’s slightly.
There are five distinct sections. Section C ends with cascading harmonies, starting with the bass rolling and each section entering one at time and sustaining their notes. (Rolls are disabled on the midi mp3, so you will not hear the true effect on the demo).
