A three-movement piece which combines orchestral vocabulary with a variety of groove oriented music such as Latin, jazz, and American folk music. It can be performed either with any size string orchestra and winds, or with string sextet (2 violins, 2 violas, cello, bass) and woodwind quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, bassoon). The first two movements, allegro moderato and lento, showcase the lyrical side of the saxophone. The third movement, allegro molto, involves a good deal of virtuosity and requires improvisational skills over modal chords.

This spirited chart, originally recorded in a small group setting on the CD I Remember Jaco (BMG-Novus), is playable at a variety of brighter tempos but should ultimately be performed fast. A solid rhythm section is required, an open solo section is included, and the repeated vamp featuring solo tenor at the end is a rare treat. Duration ca. 4:30.
