Nice follow up, Alex!
Simply one of the greatest cuts ever, in any genre. And there's a second take on the CD reissue that's every bit as good!
Perfect playing, and a brilliant, classic Bobby Timmons composition that every musician loves to play. And the way they get softer at the last chorus and steamroll into the ending is breathtaking!.
And don't let Benny Golson go unnoticed here. A guy you don't hear that much of normally, but a criminally underrated composer and tenor player.

Top Top Top class!! My lady asked me if I was the one putting all the jazz on the Banter lately ;)

Blakey's band over the years was just amazing, like Miles, he knew how to find and recruit the best talent. Would have been a great GM!
