Description:
'Black Orpheus' appeared as principal theme in the Portuguese-language movie 'Orfeu Negro' in 1959. The song appears in various versions throughout the movie. It was the first bossa nova composition to achieve great popularity outside Brazil. It became very popular in the US in particular. Today it is regarded as a jazz standard.
This arrangement is a nice solo for sopranosax, altosax or flugelhorn in Latin style. After a groovy slow start, the arrangement changes into a more up tempo samba-like style to the end.
