Lots of funky fun in this cool chart that starts out featuring a combo of alto sax, bari sax, trumpet, guitar and trombone before the whole ensemble gets in on the action. The solo section is designed for guitar and tenor sax solos but can easily be opened up for any soloists of your choosing. Ranges are quite reasonable and an optional flute part is included. Solid from start to finish, your group will leave a very strong impression where ever they perform Funky Stuff.

An instant winner! Skillfully written for the Jazz Starters Series, Hackin’ It Up! is an original Latin/rock chart that is easy to rehearse, teach and learn. It is certainly an effective and playable composition that introduces young musicians to very easy syncopated rhythms. There is no need for soloist as a unison/tutti section, which may be played by any combination of instruments, has been written instead. This piece is definitely a pace changer and a crowd mover and will sound full with reduced instrumentations.
