Description:
There have been many arrangements of Wave done over the years, and many suffer from being over-arranged. Wally Menard has produced a truly elegant piece of Latin scoring, and the result is an absolute joy to play. Other than the lead alto taking the tune to start with there are no solos, and the sectional interplay is really well handled, with each taking the melody at some point. The trumpets are mellow and the trombones lush. The last sax soli in particular flows into an extended ending that has a modal feel that falls naturally into place within the context of the whole chart.
