Well most of the problem is that it's a
Barely Man Enough tune!

Brian,

      Considering the style of music, it sounds like it's just a montuno.
You just improvise over those four repetitive chords, building on a few
patterns if you like, until it fades out or until there is queue for the
final chord. I'm sure there are many others lurking nearby with fine
Afro-Cubano skills, who can elaborate much better than I whether that's the
case and how best to perform it.  Sabutin (Sam Burtis) or Jeff Adams are
just a couple that come to mind.

Our concert band is going to be performing Copacabana as arranged by
someone
named Peterson. The challenge with this arrangement, besides being hand
written and hard to read, is a 24-bar trombone solo at the end. I have
played the cords on the piano, listened to the Barry Manalow (sp?)
recording, and I just can't get anything to play out of this.

Chord structure is key of Bb, 4/4 time, two beats each of Fm9 F#m9 Gm9 F#m9
repeated 12 times.

Usually, I just play by feel, but I'm not getting anything from this. Any
suggestions? Better yet, does a recording of this arrangement or another
band arrangement exist?

Thanks,
Brian
