Commissioned by the South Side Bee Branch Hornet Jazz Band, Bee Branch, Arkansas, Justin Berg, Director

Oh yeah, it’s time for another “chicken” flavored chart! This one is definitely funky and more accessible than previous “chicken” charts. Lead trumpet range is only to written G on top of the staff, and written-out solos are provided for alto and trumpet. Also, with only two chords in the solo section, it is ideal for young players to work on improvising. Tempo is around 136 BPM.
