Description: Ever since the widespread popularity of the Jeff Jarvis’ funk original, Critical Mass, requests for a sequel have been pouring in. At last, Jeff has composed and arranged Honk, with all the characteristics that made its predecessor such a hit with jazz ensembles, only at a slightly more accessible level. Like Critical Mass, Honk begins with a contemporary sax section introduction, clearly placing your baritone saxophonist in the limelight while avoiding excessive technical demands. Everyone has interesting and challenging parts to play throughout. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set. Duration 4:55.
