The theme is developed through a set of variations featuring chorale, funk, Latin, and swing styles.

A big band version of the Average White Band hit, following the same structure as the original. This number is just a laid back groove. The saxes take the main riff with trombones and guitar backing....

Rough & tumble piece that speaks of the stark, ridiculously inadequate kitchen in which Ladd prepared a sumptuous meal. The setting was idyllic; the kitchen was FUNKY. Explosive. Bari sax or Guitar so...

Nasty Funk. Good unison dialogue. Haunting Alto & Guitar line. Solos for Tenor & Guitar. Nice full unison lines in low brass & reeds.

If you're ready to party a bit - this chart's for you! The festivities begin as the second-line feel (with a funk shuffle twist) is served up by the winds as well as rhythm before the very catchy riff...

An exciting funk tune that features tenor sax and guitar but can be opened up to include other solosits as well.
