By Herbie Hancock. By Herbie Hancock and Paul Jackson. Arranged by Jacob Weber. This edition: pdf, streaming. Funk, Jazz, Pop. 30 pages. Jacob Weber #1125454. Published by Jacob Weber (A0.1553077)."Chameleon" is a jazz fusion standard composed by Herbie Hancock with Bennie Maupin, Paul Jackson, and Harvey Mason, all of whom also performed the original 15:44 full-length version on the 1973 album Head Hunters, and featuring solos by Hancock and Maupin.
The song has a characteristic bass line and is set to a funk beat. For the most part, it is built entirely on a two-chord vamp: a i-IV in B♭ Dorian (B♭m7 and E♭7). The piece's signature 12-note bass line was played by Hancock on an ARP Odyssey, as was one of the keyboard solos. The other keyboard solo was played on a Rhodes piano.
This arrangement was written for the Westminster College Big Blue Pep Band. The instrumentation for this chart follows a typical pep band arrangement with some contemporary instrumentation as well. (Flute 1 &2, Clarinet 1&2, Alto Saxophone 1&2, Tenor Saxophone 1&2, Baritone Saxophone 1&2, Trument 1-4, Mellophone 1&2, Trombone 1&2, Tuba/Sousaphone, Glockenspiel, Marimba, Vibraphone, Electric Bass Guitar, Snare Drum, Tenor/Quads Drums, Bass Drums 1-4, and Cymbals)
