PICK UP THE PIECES

Pick up the Pieces is an instrumental work from 1974 by the Scottish band, Average White Band. They had several hits in the seventies with their funk, soul and disco songs. This piece appeared in the charts several times. In this orchestra version the four voiced harmonies are derived from the first chord Cm11. The Dutch saxophonist, Candy Dulfer covered this number in 1993, causing it to regain popularity and rightly become a Funk Classic.
