I want More

This is almost the same tempo as the central park north album. The feel is a little bit more than a triplet or else it’ll sound a little hokey. Even from the first notes in the bones-listen back to back with that Central Park North recording and you’ll hear it. Just a little more than a triplet really makes this song exciting at that tempo. That concept is gonna take this great band to an even higher level!

Hi level band, perhaps too much "kind and sweet" for Thad library. And perhaps an "no Jazz" sax. solo; but this music is so difficult after the original band.
