Hi everyone! I've been putting up a few arrangements for a local ensemble where I play the piano. I wanted to maybe get some feedback on this one, if anyone's interested, all kinds of criticism or suggestions are very welcome!  Since it wasn't ever performed all I have is the chart and the audio exported from Musescore. (Please don't mind the drums, it's just to give a rhythm feel  ) https://drive.google.com/open?id=1sUT0qOF1XTlhYonv2vCyZ6NultqqG3u0" rel="nofollow - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1sUT0qOF1XTlhYonv2vCyZ6NultqqG3u0 It's based on this brazilian samba called Mascarada https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWw1IiCFd28" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWw1IiCFd28 Thanks in advance!!

I'm sorry, I could not play it because I don't have Drive. In the meantime, you might want to check our massive samba thread: http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=858&title=samba" rel="nofollow - http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=858&title=samba

| That is excellent. I especially liked the build towards the end with the syncopated horn lines. |

One thing I was doubtful about is that it might have turned out with 'too much'. To my own taste I feel like making it a bit simpler but really unsure of how and maybe it is just me being a bit overly judgmental with my stuff? Thanks for the feedback!

I didn't think it was overly busy, I liked all the little parts going on, they were syncopated and rhythmic, not pointless. I'm a big fan of arrangers, some favorites include: Ellington, Gil Evans, Quincy Jones, Lalo Schifrin, Les Baxter and Henry Mancini. For classical I like Debussy, Ravel and Stravinsky.
