This is one of my “signature” tunes and has been a staple of the live performance set along with “Butterfly,” “Sans Souci,” “July,” “Astoria,” and “Beatnik Pie” for some time. I am joined on this recording by Matt and Michael, who are the other two members of my regular trio. This trio will be performing this summer, and those dates will be posted soon on reynold.com
The main riff of the piece is in “11” as a combination of 6 and 5 beats. Harmonically the piece is very “modal” which has roots in the music of Miles and Coltrane. There is also a sort of “raga” element to the music. I have recorded several versions of this song and there is something about all the versions I like but this remains my favorite and closest to the original concept.
Be kind.
Love,
Reyn
