Product Description

An arrangement for jazz quartet as a bossa of the James Bond song Diamonds are Forever. This arrangement is part leadsheet and part-score: in addition to the melody of the songs there are chords for an improvisation section. The scoring for the various instruments is as follows:

  • alto sax. Fully scored for the melody and for counter-melodies when the piano has the melody. Chords are provided for the improvisation section in the alto sax key
  • piano: the chords are notated when the meoldy is being played but chord symbols are also provided for optional voicings. Chords are provided for piano improvisation
  • bass: fully scored against the melody, and chords are provided for improvisation.
  • drums: an initial bossa pattern is given and then repeat signs are shown throughout the score where a bossa pattern should be used. The score also indicates where the drums stop/start. The interpretation is best left to the drummer
The sound of the arrangement exactly as scored is provided in the 30-second recording.

The arrangement as a whole has a laid-back Latin feel. The melody is very well-suited to a bossa nova.
