Pan Funk starts out with a couple rounds of the back line laying down the groove of the tune. Next, the funky front line melody enters at the verse before segueing into the chorus, culminating in a full unison jam. There is a fun front line solo in the middle of the tune that ranges from very easy to very challenging, and finally breaks way back to the chorus with a chromatic flair. The solo section can also be easily stretched out for as long as you like to showcase your soloists in the band. This is an entertaining, medium tempo tune your band will have a blast playing and performing. Feel free to make this one your own. It’s been played laid back, heavy, and even in a reggae style. It’s all good!
This jazz number was commissioned as part of our Beginning Steel Band series. Voiced like a jazz band chart, this piece is written in minor and features a great melody and a laid back groove.
