More about this title

Why we love this

Victor López's arrangement strips away unnecessary complexity without sacrificing groove, letting young players focus on locking into the pocket rather than deciphering difficult charts. The all-ensemble texture means every musician stays engaged and connected to the overall sound, building ensemble awareness from day one. At this grade level, finding something this genuinely fun to play is rare.

What to expect

Modern and loose, with a rock-influenced swagger that feels more like a contemporary groove than a traditional big band chart. The funky rhythm section anchors everything while the horns bounce around with infectious energy.

Who it's for

Beginning jazz ensemble directors working with young players who need immediate success and motivation. This works equally well as an opener for rehearsal or a standalone performance piece that audiences genuinely enjoy.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock the rhythm section (drums and bass) first at MM=120, then layer in the horns once everyone feels the pocket together.
  • Emphasize the syncopation between trumpet and trombone; these lines define the funk feel and need to sit tight against the beat.
  • Keep the dynamic contrast controlled. The chart's simplicity means small changes in volume and articulation will read clearly.

How to use it

Program this early in the season to build confidence and establish jazz ensemble as exciting rather than intimidating. It pairs well with other accessible charts from the Jazz Beginnings Series and works as a spring concert opener or informal performance context.

Skills your students will build

  • Ensemble precision in rock and funk idioms
  • Syncopated rhythmic reading at moderate tempo
  • Listening and responding to the rhythm section
  • Articulation control for contemporary pop and funk styles
