Your young rhythm section will really be able to dig in with this funky, cut-time rock chart. It features bold melodies along with some compelling counter lines from the Saxes and Guitar. Driving rock is at the heart of this piece, but there are several passages with winds only that provide some subtle contrast. To add a different dimension to your band’s sound, if you have an Electric Guitar player, have them experiment with some effects when playing a line with the Saxes or Trombones.

A high energy rock chart loaded with appeal. While trumpets are featured on the opening figure and chorus, saxes and bones have the melody throughout. Utilizing repetitive rhythms and fingerings that lay well on the instrument, the difficulty level of this piece is easily attainable by younger, less experienced groups with less than perfect instrumentation. Easy changes and written out solos will encourage developing soloists, yet will also showcase mature players. Appeal, accessibility, and modest ranges make this chart an excellent concert or contest selection, and an all-around winner for your band.
