CATEGORIES SHEETMUSIC ENSEMBLES BIGBAND BIGBAND WITH VOICE WHAT IS HIP (BB+VOX)
In 1973 the break-trough of Tower of Power was imminent! This track was the opener of their self-entitled LP-record.
Although TOP had been working on their career for a while already, 1973 was the BIG deserved breakthrough for them.
On this self-entitled LP-Album, a handful of songs are presented - that still are played today, almost unchanged...
Apart from being a cool funk-song, The opener "What is Hip?" describes pretty good what TOP stands for:
Play really good & be self- /social-critic (but always with a twinkle in the eye...).
Here in an adaption for Big-Band.
