This tune was written while I was in college and is one of my favorites. It has a definite feel of a tune by the incomparable Thelonious Monk, a big influence of mine, but it was also inspired by many hours of listening to a great album by a more contemporary jazz musician, "Crazy People Music" by Branford Marsalis. It has proven to be a great warm up tune because it manages to hit every tonal key by the time it's done.
