The Chicken

Whoa, hold on to your feathers! If you want energy and excitement and a funky groove then check out Kris Berg's chart "The Chicken". The legendary electric bassist Jaco Pastorius recorded this powerful tune along with his own soul introduction, and arranger Kris Berg has adapted it for the "Jazz Band Series". If you have a strong electric bass player then you have just found yourself a showstopper with this chart. Tenor saxophone solo (written solo provided), optional guitar solo and the solo bass line will showcase your soloists and your students will devour "The Chicken". This piece is guaranteed to pluck the audience right from their seats! "The Chicken - Jazz Ensemble" weighs 15.04 oz.
