      Me too, I'm 72 and I love this stuff. My band even backed Taj at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach California in about 1980 or so. In fact I'm going back to Cal in a week to appear with my old band members, some of whom I haven't played with in 35 years. We will play stuff like this! It will be at Coomber's in Oceanside, CA. I wish you could be there!

    Real nice tribute version! Always a bit surprised at how many sax players don't come close to nailing it. I'm not an advocate for ALWAYS feeling you have to slavishly recreate every old tune note for note, but this is a classic! Clifford Scott's sax phrases deserve some respect, & get it here. Nice!

I now live in North East Texas close to Marshall. I have never been to Massachusetts before. I've been told that it's beautiful up there.
