Hard Bop Coffee Shop Light Rhythm Section

Hard bop harmony delivered with an unusually light rhythm section — three minutes of bright, busy playing where the drums stay well back and the horns carry the piece.
That balance makes it usable as café and bookshop background where a full hard bop record would be too aggressive. Also good under long-form talking content that needs a jazz identity.
Tied with Midnight Club for the longest track in the album at three minutes one, but eighteen beats per minute slower — a hundred and eighteen against a hundred and thirty-six. Like Midnight Club, it has no detectable key; together they are the only two tracks here where key could not be determined.
