Blue Bossa (M.Sweeney)

“Blue Bossa (M.Sweeney)” is a big band arrangement by Michael Sweeney of a composition credited to Kenny Dorham. The catalog identifies the ensemble as Big Band and lists the difficulty as medium, making this edition relevant for groups looking for a moderately challenging large-ensemble chart. No style classification is specified in the verified metadata, so this listing does not assign one based on the title alone. The arrangement is documented as a 32-page publication with individual parts confirmed. The listed instrumentation covers a standard big band setup: Alto Saxophones 1 and 2, Tenor Saxophones 1 and 2, Baritone Saxophone, Trumpets 1 through 4, Trombones 1 through 4, Guitar, Piano, Bass, and Drums. This provides parts for a complete 17-part ensemble as listed in the catalog metadata. The catalog does not confirm whether a conductor score is included. Directors and librarians should therefore distinguish between the confirmed individual parts and the unconfirmed score status when organizing materials.
