This one really moves along. Not a lull in sight. I have been all over Keith's manbag recently and this version is no different. Guy shines in his fills. Playin's slayed in fall '72 and this one is a definitely on par

Knickerbocker Arena

To double down on my comments for this version, this one is fucking fire! Definitely does not get the dap it deserves. Set the table for the Branford sit in, but stands wholeheartedly on its own as a blissful, intricate, driving masterpiece.
