(Level III) A Keith Jarrett-influenced gospel rock tune that opens with a wind chorale. Following an alto sax solo, the band breaks into a rousing a cappella "get-down" section, followed by an appended version of the opening chorale. No woodwind doubles. A fun and challenging chart to play. Commissioned in 1982 by Chaffey College. 8 Brass
