Spice up your repertoire with hip-hop! The initial riff-based melody is augmented with pyramid figures from the rest of the ensemble. The coiled energy that is built up in this first section of the tune is released into the kinetic motion of the B section.

A stop time low brass feature follows, which leads back into the head of the tune, where the ensemble can ride it out to the end.
