A Challenging Post-Bop composition which features tenor saxophone, the saxophone section with guitar on a gritty soli, and the whole band with lots of intense, high energy section playing. Channeling energy from Coltrane, Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and their contemporaries, this piece has a dark modal feel.

Debuted and recorded with the University of North Texas One O’Clock Lab Band on Lab 2015.
