Description
Adrenaline Rush ♫ written by Rich Willey and arranged for funk band by The Amazing Wally Minko. Here’s an energetic chart that sets your band on fire and has listeners sitting up in their seats. Challenging for the performers and rewarding for the listening audience.
166 written measures, ♩ = 120, advanced level of difficulty (sixteenth-note-based rhythmic structure). The chord changes for blowing are easy on the A sections and not exactly functional harmony on the bridge. Trumpet part goes up to a high D. There is a soli section that trades with a guitar solo designed to take it up another notch.
Written with solo space for EVI (which can also be played by a keyboardist on a synthesizer), Hammond B3 Organ, and Guitar.
All our funk band charts have similar instrumentation, and this chart calls for:
Trumpet 1
Trumpet 2
Trumpet 3
Tenor Sax
Valve Trombone
Bass Trumpet
Electronic Valve Instrument (EVI)
Keyboards
Hammond B3 Organ
Electric Guitar
5-String Electric Bass
Drum Set
This chart comes in a PDF that you’ll be able to download immediately upon submission of your order.
