Funky Stew - Flex Jazz Band

Isn’t it time you try some Funky Stew? A perfect concert opener—Funky Stew features a simple yet driving groove in the rhythm section. The winds and brass pass around the melody while your rhythm section is having fun locking in their parts. With glissandos, an effective pyramid that sets off different sections, and a drum feature, this energetic chart is accessible for developing jazz bands. The open solo section allows students to improvise using only the notes of the familiar concert B Blues scale. A written suggested solo is also included.
