Sapatos De Danca (Dancing Shoes) for Saxophone Quartet

This is a toe-tapping catchy samba piece with a 2 time feel. Portray the colour and celebration of a Brazilian Mardi Gras. The infectious hook and off-beat rhythms will have your audience wishing they could show off their Voltas, Under Arm Turns, and Bota Fogos. Get those ‘dancing shoes’ on…

Everyone in the quartet has the opportunity to solo – there are chord symbols as well as written out improvisations, for those in the quartet who are not comfortable improvising.

We defy anyone to sit through this and not move some part of their body. This is a SERIOUS latin groove that ticks all the boxes:

Infectious groove – TICK!

Syncopated melody – TICK!

Kick ass written out Bari sax solo – TICK!

‘Sapatos De Danca’ is written for a Grade 6+ quartet,  with tasty written out solos that will definitely challenge the players – if they want to rise to the challenge!!
