SKU: WA.55677
Arranged by Frederick "Dave" Snider. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.55677).This is a great contemporary funk chart, dedicated to the great electric bassist Larry Graham. The bass player must play electric bass (NOT STRING BASS). The bass part is written but it can be improvised since chord changes are provided. The tempo is 90 bmp for the quarter note. This chart is very high energy from the beginning to the end. There are challenging rhythmic and melodic riffs and backgrounds throughout the chart in all sections. The chart starts in G minor with a tenor solo. There is a drum solo/groove with horn backgrounds used as a transition and modulation to the key of concert E for a trumpet solo. The highest note for the lead trumpet is concert high D. This chart is a definite opener or closer and is a great challenge for any college or pro band. Scored for 5 saxes, 5 trumpets (5th is optional), 4 trombones, piano, bass, and drums, with optional guitar. No doubles.
