Description
As recorded on the album New Juju by Christopher Merz and Shorter Stories. The melody is set as a 5/4 boogaloo, shifting to the more familiar medium swing in 4 via metric modulation. Following the solos, a second modulation bring us back to the original temp, meter, and feel. A clever ensemble chorus is played twice before the recap and brief coda.
