This whole album is fantastic. This song was the first time I encountered and tried to work out Elvins HH steps. Thx for sharing!

[@michaelnesi0827]

Thank you, yes I really love this album! I think I read some or all of this album was written while he was in prison at San Quentin. Thanks for watching.

[@grantallardyce5282]

I read that too. Prisoners would trip out while listening and telling long stories to pass the time.

Nice sound!! What is sudo mambo feel?

[@michaelnesi0827]

Just a term I came up with to describe the part of the song Elvin plays the tom as part of the groove, this one is in 3/4 so it is hard to classify.

It's kinda rondo form.

[@michaelnesi0827]

Great observation, I did not think about that!
