I Agree!

Brilliant piece, not so keen on the James Brown version though. I play it with CYJO, with Adam Earle, and it has to be one of the bands favourite pieces.

Great Piece

This is a great piece of music, my band played it at the Chepstow national finals and got a gold award, it is a great mix and if you have a good band of musicians then your audiences will love this. Make sure that the band works hard at it...
