This tender a cappella treatment of John Coltrane's beautiful ballad, 'Naima,' without lyrics. It features a female soloist, with rich broken-chord harmonizations beneath. Randy has his 'finger on the trigger' with this a cappella instrumental-style arrangement of the Quincy Jones' funk tune, 'Love Is In Control.' You'll have fun with this one! The first a cappella vocal version of this famous Chick Corea Latin classic, 'Spain.' This chart features a strong baritone or alto soloist in the rubato introduction, accompanied by thick vocal 'spread voicings,' then kicks into the familiar up-tempo samba feel, with quick octave unisons for all voices. After going through the tune, it opens up for improvisation solos over the chorus, with the bass singers continuing the samba-bass feel while the upper voices do horn-type hits and pads behind the soloist. A high, then low ending brings the piece to an impressive close. Requires good range by soprano and bass. First tenor part can be sung by alto if necessary. 'Take 5' was commissioned by UNC for the Axidentals to sing on a special concert with the Dave Brubeck.
