JE: Stop 'N Go Jon Phelps

Here is an accessible original utilizing a variety of rhythmic figures commonly used in rock and funk charts. This chart employs a tuneful melody and is playable by as few as 9 players and expandable to full big band instrumentation (17 players). Designed to make developing groups sound their best, the piece derives its title from the “stop and go” feeling in the rhythm section parts. Although loaded with great learning material, the piece is simply fun to play and will leave bands and audiences whistling the melody. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set. Duration 3:30.
