Description

Sometimes it’s tricky to find a great opener for developing bands. Check out Not My Problem, which was commissioned by the San Joaquin Valley Jazz Festival. The chart starts with a half-time swing funk groove, followed by a quirky but VERY funky melody. Solos can feature anyone in the band, followed by a drum solo over the groove. A cool modulation sets up the return to the melody. Solo changes are easy, and a separate chord sheet is included. 5-4-4-4, with optional flute, clarinet, and vibes parts included. Rhythm parts are notated. Very conservative brass ranges.
