Moments Worth Listening For
The effortless transition from the group's hummed intro to Tony Williams' soaring lead on Whispering Wind.
The way the strings swell and then recede to leave the vocal harmonies completely exposed on Try a Little Tenderness.
The rhythmic, almost lullaby-like sway of Sleepy Time Gal that feels like a slow-motion ballroom dance.
