4-bar funk bass pattern starts this off. The alto can ad lib over that until the horns settle into the angular melody, which is mostly voiced triadically, sometimes with alto lead and sometimes with trumpet lead. The rhythm section joins with some stops and figures. The solo section consists of two sections, one chord or tonal center each, with a background on the second one. Instrumentation: alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone (or tenor saxophone), guitar (optional), piano, bass, drums.
