Sample Mp3

Arranged for Steel Band by Alan Bates

This reggae moon walk starts with a nice bass & drum groove with some spacey arppegiated sus chords from double 2nds and Cello\Guitars.  They change into a strum on 2 & 4 as the leads take over the melody on the verse.  On the bridge the tenors play chords up high with the double 2nds and Cellos take the melody.  The 2nd time around on the bridge the counter-melodies come in and start compounding until there is a “wall of sound.”  This all stops abruptly followed by a couple of mystery quotes before the bluesy ending riff.  Possible contest to see who gets the quotes?

Difficulty: Medium (great for high school & college steel bands)

Instrumentation: tenor/double tenor/double seconds/cello-guitars/tenor bass/bass/drum set
