about

A larger percussion section with JD, Jayson and Rickie at their usual posts, joined by Tito on congas and Joe D. on hand-percussion, begins with a sparse 6/8 latin feel. Frank adds bass early on, and soon Phil begins melodic soprano sax themes over the groove. Sheldon fades in with harmonic fills after a time, as Tito leads the percussion section. Sheldon takes over as Phil lays out, lightly bending and blending tones until Phil returns. A dialogue of lines between Phil and Sheldon continues for a while as Tito interjects. Frank plays a very brief solo before Phil and Sheldon trade phrases and Sheldon returns to rhythm for the final sax solo and fade.
