Description

Wiggle Room is an homage to all of the great jazz fusion groups of the last five decades. This fast driving, funky composition draws its name form the main melodic motif which "wiggles" through several iterations getting longer with each repetition. True to jazz, there are ample solo opportunities for certain members of the ensemble. Although some of the solos are notated, the performers may feel free to improvise.
