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!
