Catalog Number: MTM-35-14009
Description: This is funky number that's in the style of Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters. After the melody is traded around the ensemble using different combinations of instruments, there is a trumpet solo (great for funky or even outside playing), a break down which contains several short but challenging horn solis, followed by a brief, but high energy tenor sax solo. A great piece for a strong funky ensemble.
