Mambo Inn is an up-tempo, high-energy latin chart from the Tito Puente band and it is a feature for Baritone sax. The baritone solo is to be improvised, and it lasts for 40 measures based on just the one (Eb9) chord, so some creativity is required in order to maintain the energy. As you might expect from a Puente chart, the brass lines are sharp and snappy, and the beat intensity from the rhythm section needs to be maintained from start to finish. There are no sax doubles.
