More about this title

About the Arranger: Victor Lopez

Victor López is a prolific arranger and composer whose work spans jazz education, concert band, and orchestral settings. His arrangements for young ensembles balance accessibility with musical sophistication, making standard jazz repertoire approachable without sacrificing the style and swing that define the genre.

Why we love this

López captures what makes this melody enduring while giving your ensemble room to breathe and explore. The Latin head and hard-swinging bridge create natural contrast without overwhelming students, and the built-in solo sections give your section leaders a chance to shine without requiring virtuosic chops.

What to expect

The arrangement opens with an unhurried, tropical ease that immediately sets a distinct mood before pivoting into a propulsive, grooving swing section. The contrast between these two characters gives the tune energy and keeps both the performers and audience engaged throughout.

Who it's for

Jazz ensemble directors working with developing musicians at the high school or college level who want to teach an iconic standard without overshooting their ensemble's experience. Students learning jazz interpretation for the first time benefit from a chart that models both Latin and swing feels in one accessible package.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock the Latin feel in the head by establishing the clave and keeping the rhythm section tight; this foundation makes the bridge's swing feel even more dramatic by comparison.
  • Shape the bridge with dynamic lift; the harder swing deserves more air and energy from the ensemble to distinguish it clearly from the laid-back Latin opening.
  • Encourage your sax soloists to use the accompaniment strategically—a strong rhythm section groove will support them and build confidence, especially on first read-throughs.
  • Balance the tutti sections so the horns support the melody without overpowering it; student jazz ensembles often forget that less can be more in ensemble voicing.

How to use it

Use this as a festival or contest selection where you need a recognizable, well-crafted standard that shows off your ensemble's musicianship without demanding championship-level chops. It also works beautifully on a concert pairing traditional jazz repertoire with original compositions, or as a teaching piece early in the school year to establish common vocabulary around style and feel.

Skills your students will build

  • Distinguishing and executing Latin and swing feels within a single arrangement
  • Rhythmic precision in the rhythm section under contrasting tempos and feels
  • Solo improvisation over a familiar harmonic framework with ensemble support
  • Ensemble balance and blend in jazz voicings
  • Listening and responding to dynamic and stylistic cues from the conductor
