This is a twelve bar blues with a very interesting rhythm. The melody uses an African bell pattern throughout. During the first chorus the rhythm accompaniment divides each bar in three while a pattern that uses half of the melody's bell pattern plays. In the second chorus, each bar is divided into 4 against the half bell. During the third chorus, everything comes together, with the half bell simultaneously divided into 3 and into 4. Composed summer of 1996.
