Los Angeles-based jazz composer Jeff Jarvis has composed yet another tuneful funk chart for advancing groups that grooves from start to finish. This chart has all the characteristics that make Jarvis' best selling funk charts so popular with jazz bands everywhere. If you like Critical Mass, Honk, Old School, and Mohave Breakdown - then you've got to check this one out! It begins with a contemporary piano introduction, moving into a catchy melody presented initially in a two-part writing technique. Heavily syncopated piano comping, supported by staccato bass lines, will remind you of Tower of Power's bassist, Francis Rocco Prestia. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set. Duration 5:10.

Third Volume in the Begin The Band series, arranged for Flexible Ensemble by Gibert Tinner. Die Gründung einer Band ist immer ein Abenteuer. Neue Musikgruppen, deren Mitglieder nicht allzu viel Erfahrung auf ihren Instrumenten mitbringen, haben besondere Bedürfnisse. Nicht allzu schwere Stücke sind gefragt, die den Schwerpunkt auf das Zusammenspiel legen und schnell zum motivierenden Erfolgserlebnis der Gruppe führen: dem ersten gemeinsamen Auftritt! Begin the Band ist genau auf diese Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten. Jedes Buch dieser Reihe enthält vier unterhaltsame, gut klingende Bearbeitungen und Originalkompositionen in den Stilen Pop und Jazz, die auch Gelegenheit zur Improvisation bieten. Zu jedem Stück gibt es eine Gesangsstimme, drei Begleitstimmen und einenEasy Part für Bläser, das Ganze jeweils in C-, B-, Es- und in C (Bass). Dazu kommen Stimmen für Gitarre und Bassgitarre (mit Akkorden), sowie für Schlagzeug und Percussion. Alle Stimmen sind beliebig für zahlreiche verschiedene Besetzungen ergänzbar - von einer Minimalbesetzung aus Gesangsstimme (auch von einem Blasinstrument spielbar) mit einer Begleitung, über eine Popband bis hin zur Jazzcombo und vielem mehr.

Let It Groove is all about the pocket! The feeling of the chart is reminiscent of Herbie Hancock's Watermelon Man or Lee Morgan's Sidewinder. The bass line is anchored to the bass drum pattern, and the enclosed rhythm exercises are an excellent tool for creating a cohesive rhythmic concept throughout the band. The solo section is a 12 bar Bb blues and can be opened up to include several soloists.
