Cuban Grooving is a piece for standard saxophone quartet (soprano, alto, tenor and baritone).
As its title suggests there is a strong latin feel to the work - intricate yet at the same time pleasurable. Because of the occasional complex rhythmical patterns it might be best suited to a more proficient intermediate or advanced group.
The piece is ideal for a light interlude to give contrasting style in a concert as well as being fun to play and listen to.

A fun piece for saxophone quartet (SATB) and sextet (SAATTB) with a Spanish feel, as can be expected from the title. Starting confidently there follows a central, more reflective section, which accelerates to a final eight bars marked bravura - after some self doubt the bullfighter confidently goes forth. This piece would make an excellent light work in a concert of saxophone ensemble music.
Written in the style of George Gershwin. The title is a reference to the famous line Gershwin wrote in his original score for Rhapsody in Blue, indicating to the conductor where he should bring the orchestra back in after his improved solo. It is believed that this marking terrified the conductor.
An alternative Alto Saxophone part, substituting the Soprano Saxophone part, is included in the publication.
