Play-along book with Latin songs and improvisation
Moments of Latin is a play-along book from De Haske Publications with ten songs in Brazilian and Caribbean styles, including bossa nova, samba, calypso and merengue. The pieces are based on chord progressions from standard real book repertoire, making this book a strong match for players who want to explore Latin-oriented ensemble playing and improvisation.
The solo parts are written to sound like real improvisations, while the chord symbols also give you room to create your own lines. That makes Moments of Latin suitable for study, lessons and independent practice, with a clear link between written material and personal interpretation.

The edition has 28 pages and comes in a 9 x 12 inch format. The text is presented in English(UK), Deutsch, Français and Nederlands, which is practical in teaching situations or when working with players from different language backgrounds.
