from: Bitches Brew

Shorter gets composer credit. Pretty basic stuff. A three-note I-IV-V riff is repeated and everyone wails on top of that. It's still pretty cool with Zawinul and Corea doodling around the margins, while Miles & Co. scream out hot licks.

Like the rest of Bitches Brew, there's obviously a ton of razor-blade edits ...
