BTW, for those that like this type of music, did you pick up on how much a great percussionist (playing over a great 'pocket' drummer) adds to the GROOVE. In my next life, I'm only going to play in groups that have a great percussionist .
..and yeah Tony, one of my favorite sax guys for a long, long, time.

I really enjoy watching percussionists ... they add so much to an arrangement ...
Here's a version from the 1998 Newport Jazz Festival ... I was there, had no idea who the 'keys' player was, only that he was really good ...
