In the skilled hands of Rick Stitzel, here is a classy yet easy version of this familiar samba. Every section gets a chance to play the melody at some point, plus there is a solo section for any sax or flute.

The start of 0:53 and the rest is so perfect and good and relaxing.

[@lh9044]

Set the speed to 1.25, already better to my ears. At least that's the basic tempo our jazz band played it at.

[@vision2812]

yeah sounds much better

[@johnsowa9608]

Same

[@wlonsdale1]

[@spicystubbs9873]

Been listening to this on loop trying to figure out the sax solo before I try out for it in my jazz band at school

[@ThatOneBlackN-sy4hh]

I've been looking for a trombone solo in many other songs for inspiration.

IK I PLAYING IT

[@challah4311]

I listened to the original Aquarela do Brasil and it absolutely ruined this adaption for me. I just can't listen and enjoy it anymore. The original is so much better.

[@gatsbyorchestra2688]

The original is not scored for middle/high school jazz band. This is probably closest to an "authentic" arrangement for school ensemble that I've heard; but, of course, it is not as colorful as the original score for professional orchestra and takes some liberties with it's adaptation naturally. It is well done, though. :)
But I do love the original recording; but also the Michael Kamen film score is gorgeous!
