Description

As recorded on the album "New Juju" by Christopher Merz and Shorter Stories. Originally conceived as a big band arrangement, this reduction sets the soul jazz classic in 7/4. Crunchy "Blue Note" voicings abound, and the guitar has a meaningful ostinato part that enhances the texture. Solo space for any instrument. The arrangement ends with an abbreviated recap followed by quirky mixed-meter coda.
