Funk style blues in C concert. Written in a 'Thaddian' style, this original tune features creative ensemble writing and sounds more difficult than it is to play. Funky groove.

Another winner to follow the success of Mike's 'Barbeque Wings' and 'Barbeque Sauce.' Based on slightly altered blues changes, a funky intro sets up this great chart but strays occasionally with some...
