Funky Nugget is, as you would expect, a funk chart with a groovin bass line and an equally hip melody. Saxes and brass trade that melody over two different fundamental chords and the trombones and tenor saxes take the group through the bridge and onto the solo section.
The solo section offers a written alto sax solo but the chords are included so anyone can take a solo. The chords are relatively simple and combine with a "straight-forward" turnaround over the course of the solo section.
Funky Nugget is rhythmically challenging as it is grounded in 16th note rhythms throughout. It is a wonderful opportunity to teach students not to fear that 16th note patterns. In addition, Funky Nugget can provide plenty of opportunities for students to apply the strategies and methods you teach them to decipher those rhythms.
