This up-tempo minor blues is so cool its on fire from the opening bass solo. Even though the pace is fast, the skillful writing keeps it playable. The saxes are featured on the melody, followed by the trumpets, before big brass hits lead into the solo section that vamps on blues changes in A minor and provides space to play written or improvised solos with 1st tenor sax or 2nd trumpet. The drummer gets his fill on during a chorus of soloing before we surprisingly switch up the feel with a funky half-time groove. Its back to double-time swing as the chart features the melody again followed by more drum solos to build the intensity for a frosty finish.
