Hot version! Not quite as epic as the night after, but still incredible.

A particularly jazzy version; Jerry is ablaze and climbing to enormous heights.

A great version! Scarlet is very good but Fire is where it's at. Really hot playing on this part of the pairing. Indeed an overlooked and underrated show!
