Moments Worth Listening For
The infectious calypso-inspired bounce that anchors the title track's rhythmic foundation.
The transition into the solo reprise where Rollins' unaccompanied tenor reveals its architectural brilliance.
The interplay between the two electric guitars providing a shimmering, modern backdrop for the saxophone's grit.
