this one is a gimme for Hornsby's jumpstart chops which makes for a devastating affair with jer and the guys lockin' in.

Laconic and textural, devils hang loose. Chasms of endless spirals of blank fear only to be boingy wackjob cyberjazz, menacing, for OG 90's heads

High spirited and activated septet playing. Lengthy tonal solo and manic 7/4 takeoff

Blazing steamroller, Hornsby, flutterbird PITB. Elegant, direct, emblematic of the late style.

For a song whose number 1 has 23 votes, it might not be major, but this around and around is absolutely sensational!!! kicks off a monster hour-long sequence in Miami, and everyone is going nuts and having a blast on this!!

Stunning as always version of mississippi. Coming out of technical issues, getting everything exactly right and they launch into a set 1 whose highlights are in the quieter moments.

Simply must be a contender for the best one of these, right? Truckin' down the avenue like a kid on too much cotton candy and soda and yet with a street-corner hustle as well
