Honk! Honk!—Jack Cooper. The biting dissonance
of the sharp nine chord is used as the centerpiece
for this free-spirited, funky rock chart. Cutting,
angular lines and interesting counterpoint come
together to create a unique piece in the repertoire
for music at this level. There are plenty of
opportunities to work on those heavy articulations
and big punches for your lows. It is surprisingly
sophisticated with just the right amount of grit to
warrant the title.

This flexibility allows you to select an individual,

Overdrive—Blair Bielawski. Your young rhythm
section will really be able to dig in with this funky
cut-time rock chart. It features bold melodies
along with some compelling counterlines from
the saxes and guitar. Driving rock is at the heart
of this piece, but there are several passages with
winds only that provide some subtle contrast. If you
have an electric guitar player and you want to add
a new dimension to your band's sound, have them
experiment with some effects when playing a line
with the saxes or trombones.
