Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceived as a joyful, swinging tribute to Duke Ellington and the pioneers of jazz music, this phenomenally tight arrangement is driven by an iconic, impossibly complex unison horn line. Extracted from the monumental 'Songs in the Key of Life', it stands as a flawless masterclass in progressive pop-soul composition.
