Price-Boogaloo:Rough and Tumble for Six or Seven Percussionists

Boogaloo: Rough and Tumble by William Price was constructed using the late 1950's - early 60's "boogaloo" popular music style as the main impetus for the piece. New Orleans funk and soul rhythms are combined to create a driving, syncopated framework that supports the "quirky" melodic lines that permeate the work.
