Ace of Hearts
Ryan Erik Adamsons
Commissioned by the Hinsdale Middle School Jazz Ensemble (directed by George Andrikokus) and in memory of Chicago trumpeter Art Hoyle, this chart based on the changes to "Black Orpheus" is a great way to introduce bossa nova style and early improvisation techniques.
