Also featured is an extended sax soli with flugelhorn doubling the lead aswell as answers from the brass and shout sections for the entire band. Destined to become a staple in the repertoire.

Josef Zawinul and the jazz fusion group Weather Report broke new ground with this innovative composition. This easy version maintains the drive and power of the original and will sound great with mature as well as inexperienced bands.
