Inspired by the creative seating solution composer Chad Floyd used when performing on hand drums in tight spaces, Chatterbox is aptly named and does a lot with a little. Utilizing a cajon, a set of bongos, and a set of congas, this medium-advanced solo is packed with a ton of musical interest. Just as the listener settles in with one tasty groove, an accent here or a melodic phrase there spins it off in an entirely different direction. Effectively and delightfully, this solo walks the line between what audiences expect from a concert solo and what they expect from a hand drum performance.
Chatterbox comes as a full, bound score.
Full Instrumentation:
1 set of congas (tumba and conga), 1 set of bongos, 1 cajon (with snare mechanism). |
