Commissioned by Scott Prebys and the University of Mary Jazz Ensemble, this Mantooth original funks out from top to bottom. Solo honors go to alto and guitar, and in his score notes Frank says this chart is meant to be fun and raucous, not intellectually demanding. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Trumpets are asked to double on flugel, and an optional part for vibes contributes extra color and depth.
