OPUS DE FUNK - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Horace Silver in 1953, “Opus de Funk” is a hard bop instrumental blending blues, gospel, and swing influences.

Its catchy melody and harmonically rich structure allow for improvisation, making it a favorite among small ensembles and jazz pianists. Silver’s original recording with the Horace Silver Quintet highlights its groove-based approach and energetic solo sections.

The tune exemplifies the rhythmic and melodic characteristics of 1950s hard bop jazz.
