This is a seriously funky chart that's like a party on staff paper! A funky Prince-like guitar riff sets the groove and the brass section ushers in the melody. There's a lot of back and forth interplay in the ensemble and some fun baritone sax/bass trombone licks as well. Also featured is lots of solo space for tenor sax and trumpet with simple chords to work out on. A drum solo follows the horn (or rhythm section) soloists and that leads to a layered horn section that builds to an ensemble shout chorus. The trumpet range is to written high C. Tension is released by a return to the opening guitar riff, melody recap, and tag ending. This one really cooks and is highly recommended!
