from Déjà Vu.

Duke's penultimate album. Here he's as funky as ever, a two-chord head with a richer written-out section that he uses to break up the solos.

Which are all great and funky: Sheppard, Payton, Laws, George on ol' Nord, and finally Bruner -- one thing Duke always knew how to do was comp behind other solos ...

The band sings out the title occasionally. Sounds like sumpthin' he'd get from Frank!
