Recorded by Trombone Shorty on his 2011 album For True and featuring Rebirth Brass Band and 5th Ward Weebie this hot tune has a funky New Orleans style groove with a moderate tempo and catchy riffs. The trombones get the spotlight to start with followed by tight ensemble playing and later space for a trombone soloist.

Mercy! If you know Kris Berg's funky music, then you know about chicken. Do you want a funky Tower of Power-style chart? Well then, this is it. The whole band will have their eyes glued to this chart as the horn players hunt and peck through this one. The rhythmic figures are searing with energy, the rhythm section will cook on high heat throughout and the tenor sax soloist will need oven mitts for protection. Lead trumpet to written high C (optional D). Once this chart is done, the band and the audience will order up again and again. Highly recommended!
