Composed by Richard Jones. 20th Century,Jazz,Latin,World. Score and parts. 101 pages. Richard Jones #5896507. Published by Richard Jones (A0.1026131).Pepperhouse Funk is an original compiosition in the style of the repertoire played by Youngblood Brass Band and challenges all players in their understanding and performance of rhythm. As in jazz, there are a number of standard chords that are coloured by flattened 3rds, 5ths and 7ths and these joined together often in blues scales. The main theme of the piece is introduced early in the piece and the recognisable bass line is a constant throughout the music. Whilst being a band piece there are on two occasions places where both the solo cornet and euphonium initially play quasi improvised solos and then they both 'trade' solos, as they did in the original New Orleans jazz bands. The ending builds up from the main theme returning and punches its way to the finish. The title of the piece, Pepperhouse Funk, draws from two explanations or origins. The first being a nightclub in Huddersfield called Pepperhouse, though now called Camel Club, and it was a place where music students would go to on Wednesday night out. Whilst the word 'funk' originally meant a mood of sadness or being downbeat, in time it has become a way of capturing a groove, sometimes this was happy as well as sad.
