Gold Here. SUBLIME - this is where all the soft touches come together. Bob is especially deft with the underlying patterns. Phil is perfect.

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.
