| Gotta Rumble - Chick Corea, adaptation: Paul Bissell Marimba and Tape |
| -Paul Bissell, marimba on sound file |
| Gotta Rumble is your chance to step to the front of the stage, put your foot up on the monitor, throw back your hair and wail! Comprised of two classic Chick Corea compositions (Rumble and Got a Match?) this adaptation goes to 11 and is a showcase for two mallets - not to mention an absolute BLAST to play! All the notes are completely written out (the score is 12 pages long, 274 measures) with the chord changes given for those who would like to improvise during the open sections. The compact disc includes the entire piece at three different speeds as well as looped sections to help with improvisation (if desired). Grab the audience by their whammy bar! 5 minutes Price: $15.00 Add to Cart |
