Steve Porcaro

Recorded by Michael Jackson on Thriller, this distinctive laid-back hit has been recorded by artists ranging from Boyz II Men to David Benoit to Miles Davis. Mike Tomaro’s stylized version combines a smooth rock feel with tenor and trombone featured on the melody and for solos. The ensemble counterlines and background figures are beautifully constructed. More than just a “pop” tune, this chart will command attention on any program.
