This tune has been a long time in the making. It began its life in May of 2022 as a bass line reminiscent of Herbie Hancock’s “Chameleon.” (Though the actual bass line went missing somewhere along the way.) Then it was an AABA head that was too complicated. Then it became an AAB head that was just right. Then the recording of the just-right version had technical problems that kept it from playing here on the blog.
Now, three years later, Paul Langford has stepped in to save the day, recording this bang-up demo of the song. Paul brings out its slinky smoothness, with an underbelly of funk. What do think? Would it sit nicely between tracks by Yellowjackets and Spyro Gyra?
