Description
This samba-funk chart is the ideal opener for a concert; it moves fast and fun with an open solo section and a vocalese “shout” section. Roger Treece wrote the music as an opener for the 2017 California All-State Jazz choir, and Jerry Jones (5Th Avenue) and Janis Siegel (The Manhattan Transfer) penned the lyrics.
“We’re all lit up, so let’s up, let’s get ready to blow…” is the opening line that leads both the singers and listeners through a musical romp that brings the house down every time!
