n HonkJeff Jarvis. 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 cool sax section introduction, clearly placing
your baritone saxophonist in the limelight, but
without excessive technical demands. Everyone has
interesting and challenging parts to play throughout
and the modulation near the end gives it an extra,
added lift. The solos are open and the backgrounds
can be varied by instrumentation. This one is hot
from beginning to end! Very highly recommended!

4 Horace's BagPete McGuinness. With a nod
to the great Horace Silver, Pete McGuinness
has captured a funky boogaloo groove that is
reminiscent of this jazz master's works from the
1960s. This classic chart has a touch of R&B built
in, features a bluesy sound, and breaks into an
extremely cool swing section after the solos before
going back to the original groove. It just moves right
along in a down-home style! Highly recommended!
