Hot and sweaty sounding mix with a bit of a slow burn from Jerry - not crazy with the macho but cool.

So in hearing this first solo I am like wow - Jerry's going full on distorted/ faded trumpet in an SF fog and then on the outro he delivers the smoothest prettiest trumpet solo I think I 've ever heard. Yeah the outro sends it over the top for me.

Psychedelic cartwheels.
