Sometimes, you just need to play a samba! This song was originally inspired by the Freddie Hubbard tune Skydive, and I wanted an excuse to play a fun unison line with the piano. The piano and drums introduction was another spur of the moment decision in the studio, which is a testament to last minute ideas! Doug and Peter just set this tune off perfectly.
