El Gran Combo — 7 (1975)
Music by Justi Barreto · Arrangement by Rafael Ithier · Transcription/adaptation by Christian Valdés
A complete, performance-ready chart for "Un verano en Nueva York" — El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico's 1975 classic and the eternal soundtrack of a New York summer. Written by Cuban composer Justi Barreto and sung by Andy Montañez over Rafael Ithier's arrangement, it has been the sound of open hydrants, block parties, and packed dance floors for fifty years. This adaptation captures the classic as El Gran Combo plays it, hand-engraved by Noted Sound for full salsa ensemble. Includes a full score and parts for flute, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, two trumpets, two trombones, guitar, piano (plus a cued piano part for leading the band from the keys), bass, and percussion. Clean, modern engraving with clear rehearsal marks throughout, built for real rehearsal and performance use — the kind of chart a working band can put on the stand and play tonight. When the heat rolls in, this is the tune.
