Really tight and energetic; follows the blistering Sugaree and darts into superb Mexicali

Injected with Weir’s idiosyncratic slide runs; then Jerry sends it around for another lap.

This one bounces, spins, and rolls through the waves rather well.

Yes, the Miller mix is outstanding; you can make out each musician in the well-balanced, simultaneous flow. After the lyrics, the horns have a great run with those long blasts and Jerry, always seizing the moment, delivers it to another level. The return to the Weather Report Suite theme is a fitting touch to conclude.
