Description
Dominican Bachata style composition, which switches to a heavy rock section before ending as bachata again. Solo chair is the Tenor 1. The entire piece has an orchestral vibe to it that requires woodwind doubles and traditional bachata rhythm section (Dominican guira and bongos). Back Home is full of the infectious rhythm originally played by the rhythm guitar in traditional bachata ensembles but adapted for the big band. It features the tenor sax 1 as a soloist.
