Instrumentation Information
I included this one even though it appears to be a full big band chart. The trombone, baritone saxophone, and bass generally play the same part. Now you will need a fuller Sax section and trumpet section to pull this off. It is a funk which can add variety to your library and performances.
Program Notes
Call the CDC because this tune has a groove that is infectious! This original funk/rock title features some hip writing in the key of B-flat minor. With brass hits galore, a funky melody and a bass line and an open solo section, this chart is a ton of fun!
