Description

5 Part Pops for Brass is part of a new collection of Pop inspired arrangements for Brass Quintet arranged by Chris Wilcox.

We hope this repertoire will prompt a growing inquisitiveness for young brass players, and was created with a brass club or gathering in mind.

All transposed parts are included.

Kool & The Gang is an American R&B, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Pop and Disco band formed in Jersey City in 1964 by brothers Robert "Kool" Bell and Ronald Bell. After settling on their name following several changes, the group signed to De-Lite Records and released their debut album, Kool & The Gang (1970). The band's first taste of success came with the release of their fourth album Wild and Peaceful (1973), which contained the US top-ten singles Jungle Boogie and Hollywood Swinging. They reached a second commercial peak between 1979 and 1986 following their partnership with Brazilian musician/producer Eumir Deodato and the addition of singer James J.T. Taylor to the line-up. Their most successful albums of this period include Ladies' Night (1979), Celebrate (1980), and Emergency (1984). Their hit singles during the same period included Ladies' Night, Get Down on It, Joanna, Cherish and the US number one hit, Celebration.

“An absorbing selection of refined choices and inspirational highlights. Marvellous."
