JAMES WILLIAMS' tribute to his predecessor Bobby Timmons, this funk-shuffle piece features piano.

SEXTET INSTRUMENTATION

This melody is based almost entirely on a simple blues scale that's full of interesting harmonies and great dynamic moments. It'll take some practice to navigate the harmonies without compromising the groove and to maximize all the dynamic variations.

SOLOS: The changes are based on II-V progressions in a minor key and its relative major, but the real interest lies in the skillful use of chromatic II-Vs which can catch even an experienced player off guard in the midst such a deceptively simple groove format.
