Over The Waves or “Sobre las Olas” was the big hit for Mexican composer Juventino Rosas. It’s regularly found in both its traditional Waltz feel and Swingin’ Four to the Floor. The melody is unmistakable — you and the audience will recognize it from beat one. We give it the Trad. Jazz nod in this instrumental version with a Clarinet feature on the Waltz up top. The Trumpet takes over following a fun little solo break and we’re swingin’ from there on. Open Solos with backgrounds give everyone a chance to blow. This is just a fun tune all round!
