Whether you prefer your funk hard-driving or laid back, this composition will have the players and the audience 'feelin' the funk' in no time.

The word 'funk' has been applied to many different types of music. Funk music often de-emphasizes melody and harmony by bringing rhythm to the foreground, where intricate rhythmic patterns are layered together to create an intense, hard-driving groove. However, the 'funk' label has also been applied to music with a more relaxing, mellow groove. Funk Infusion takes both of these contrasting styles and 'fuses' them together, creating a piece which has the best of both worlds. The beginning section provides a straight-ahead groove while the contrasting middle section has a more relaxed 12/8 'half-time' feel. The mellow groove slowly builds to a climax, then transitions back into the original groove. Whether you prefer your funk hard-driving or laid back, this composition will have the players and the audience 'feelin' the funk' in no time.
