This arrangement is based upon Carmen McRae's recording from her "Live At Bubba's" album. It starts with vocalists accompanied by brushes, then a loose, 'two-feel' in the rhythm section. But hang on... at the midway point of the tune, a drum break kicks off a double-time section that races toward the ending, followed by a half-time 12/8 finish to this exciting arrangement.
