Description: As recorded on John Daversa's "Live at Catalina's", Oma is a melodic Jazz bossa nova that features a soprano saxophone solo throughout. It highlights traditional bossa nova accompaniment by the guitar, as well as sweeping counter melodies and duck tailing lyrical lines within the horn sections. The ending is a large-scale crescendo and decrescendo, utilizing steady building and deconstruction of layers, over a four bar vamp that the soloist improvises over. This is a wonderful improvisation vehicle for an improvising soprano saxophonist. Highest note for the lead trumpet is written high F. Key C major.
