Latin Push-Pull Big Band Transcription Video Series Part 3- “Soaring“ by Bob Florence

Here is Part 3 in a series of big band chart transcriptions that I will be posting periodically. This transcription is a Latin tune called Soaring by Bob Florence. It is on the album Soaring that came out in 1983. The drummer on the album is Nick Ceroli. This is an advanced Samba arrangement that contains complex layered rhythms and incorporates the push -pull technique with the dominant hand. For more information and some lessons on this technique see this playlist: The grooves and ostinatos in this video are from my drum set book Advanced Coordination for Drum Set and Hand Percussion.
