Program Notes:
If cool is what you're looking for, you just found it! A simple yet effective descending line in the lower voices of the band decides to "hang out" with a very hip melodic "hook" offered by the upper affiliates. Continue the conversation into the bridge, throw in some harmony in 4ths, and the result is a level of cool your band and audiences will not soon forget. Everyone has something to say in this partnership in the study of cool. All you can say at the end of this one is Du-u-ude!!
