One of the more straight-ahead tunes
on the album. It has a modal style on the A sections,
which are a bit tricky because of
a 9-bar structure instead of the 'traditional'
8-bar, but is swinging on the bridge. It is
inspired by Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and
a tribute to our friend and regular member of
the MMQ+13, the great trumpet player
Henry Hung. This song also features vocal
wizard Lorin Benedict. ~Marcus
