I Gotta Funk, Buddy [Alf:01-ADV20413]

Scored for standard brass quintet with optional drums, the relaxed intro of this contemporary original, "I Gotta Funk, Buddy," gives way to a lively funk theme that everyone will love. Trumpets start the piece with Harmon mutes, and first trumpet is given the chance to stretch out on a solo midway through the piece. If a drummer is used, an open solo of 3--7 bars can also be featured.
