This one climbs, blooms, and sheds in that direct 87-Bird Song way, complete with bird sounds.

A song with a unique point of view and metaphorical context, this version is delivered well.

Let It Grow

The Spectrum

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.
