From the Syllabus Program Notes:

In the musical West Side Story, the Jets and the Sharks are enemy gangs. A social dance is held aiming to bring them together — but it turns into a spectacular dance battle!
Mambo is bold, virtuosic and dazzling, just like the dance scene it accompanies. Keep your fingers nimble and your wits about you!
Much of your part is played by the brass in the full version — see if you can add a brassy edge to your sound. This will bring out the clashing harmonies which echo the enmity between the two gangs.
Notice the many different repeated riffs that recur through the piece, based on syncopated mambo rhythms. Make sure each one is punchy and precise, with accents, slurs and staccato exactly where they should be. Play rhythmically and never let the tempo drop.
The call-and-response sections beginning at bars 36 and 54 surround a lighter section — a chance for the dancers to catch their breath — where you can be softer and give the staccato a lighter touch.
At bar 63 the second theme begins — watch out for the key changes! This section is also a little lighter — think of the colourful whirling skirts of the dancers.
There is an exuberant trumpet solo in the original version which is suggested at bar 113. Give the flutter-tonguing everything you’ve got!
You just have to watch the amazing dance moves that Mambo was written for! The original West Side Story film was released in 1961, and a new version in 2021 — which do you prefer?
