Cissy Strut

Originally recorded by The Meters in 1969, Cissy Strut has since become a model for playing funk, recorded by both jazz and rock artists. The signature bass line is played by trombones, tenors and baritone sax, and the entire band joins in with the catchy riffs. There are short solo breaks for the bass and drums, along with solo or soli spots for saxes and trumpets.
