John Hammond Sr. (in one of his weaker moments) referred to this tune as a 'minor masterpiece'.  Really?   Warren Bernhardt and I composed this little ditty in the time it took us to drive from New Jersey to New York City in the Lincoln Tunnel.  (Time and traffic stood still).  Amy Fradon's improvisation is beyond classic!  The band... Warren on keys, Gary Burke on drums, Don Davis on sax, Rob Leon on Bass.
