Mi Gata Loca
From Plank Road Publishing
by Paul JenningsAn homage to the late jazz great Stan Kenton, this tune is modal and Latin flavored with two sections: relaxed and fiery. The tune is based on the notes G, A, and C, though if you would like to use the song as a reinforcement for the note A, you could play the entire tune on just A using the rhythms provided. This tune will give you a good opening if you've never explored big band jazz with your classes. (from Music K-8, Vol. 23, No. 3)
