Laughing Pearl
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Description:<\/strong><\/td>\nA medium disco-funk ballad for a male vocalist, this piece sets off with a somewhat classic intro, with soft horns building up a late-night romantic mood. The vocalist then sings two verses and bridges before taking on the first refrain, which ends in a tenor sax solo. After the solo, a soft ensemble paves the way for a part quoting the vocal melody that ultimately builds into an abruptly ending shout. The vocalist then reenters and sings one verse, bridge and a double refrain; all leading to a brief halt and an outro similar to the intro. The bass part is extensively notated, and demands a bassist who knows the funk. Notated key: Eb.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
