Here's a relaxed funk/rock original for developing groups that is guaranteed to be a hit at your next concert or festival appearance. It has two distinct sections and grooves, with a contrapuntal shout section that builds in intensity as it leads to a written or improvised solo for trumpet. Since the entire harmonic background is built on the F7(#9) chord, your soloist can experiment with moving in and out of the tonality to create a sense of tension and release. Cooking rhythm section parts and nice melodic hooks add to the excitement too! This chart is playable with as few as 9 pieces and is expandable all the way to a 17-piece big band and beyond, since optional flute, clarinet, horn in F, tuba and vibes parts are also included. Funk at its best for this grade level!
