We set out to destroy jazz with this tune. The chord progression is a variation on "rhythm changes" with an odd bridge melody that is actually a manipulation of Ellington's famous composition "Take the A Train." Every note in the original melody is substituted with a different note according to a set formula, therefore creating a new melody. The result is no doubt a product of Nick's composition class assignments for university! The different tempos for each section along with a punk fusion approach from Larry create a frenetic feel. Dave plays the head and his solo on his soprano sax using a Dixieland sound crossed with an energy jazz sensibility.
