Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Funk - Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

The second track on the 'Chronicles' CD by John Wasson's Strata Big Band, Funk City is a hard-hitting funk chart with am 'East Bay' swagger. Based upon an infectious bass line groove with Bari Sax, Bass Trombone and Electric Bass, the chart provides a framework for tight ensemble playing with solo spots for Electric Guitar (optional Keyboard) and Tenor Sax. The chart affords the opportunity for the band to show off its technical proficiency and tight ensemble playing.

The John Wasson Strata Big Band recording 'Chronicles' is available at the Summit Records website.
