Composed and arranged by Ben Patterson
Built on a hip hop groove and utilizing Brecker Brothers-like harmonic devices, Stank Face is a fun-to-play crowd-pleaser. The chart sets in with a simmering backbeat and goes through some interesting and unusual solo changes before settling into a Go Go-based solo space for your funkiest tenor soloist. As the backgrounds layer in, the tension builds. By the end there shouldn’t be a face in the room that doesn’t look like its owner smelled something nasty. On the easy side for a Patterson chart. [Instrumentation: 5 saxes, 8 brass, 4 rhythm]
