This chart really fills a void in literature for this level. It is designed to be played on synth with a cool electric piano sound, but we tried it with acoustic piano and it sounds great that way too. The piano part is completely written out- Frank's idea to create a contemporary sounding piece for a classically trained piano student is right on the money! Of course, it you are blessed with the student who is comfortable with improvising, so much the better.

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.
