Description

As recorded on the album New Juju by Christopher Merz and Shorter Stories. Guitar and Piano set up the melody with overlapping/competing rhythmic cells in 7/4, even eighth notes. The 7/4 groove continues as Trumpet takes the lead on the melody, with tenor and trombone supporting. Measures of ¾ are inserted to disrupt the flow. Solos for any instrument.
