I love this! As soon as those horns kicked in, I just knew. I’ve never heard this song before and never heard of them before. They’re on my radar for when I go record shopping now, although I’m sure it’s going to be hard to track down a copy in the wild.

I also love how they take it down to just bass and percussion and let the bass player fly before taking it down to just percussion.
