This song is a metaphor for a road trip.  The beginning, taken from Bach's "Adagio", is layered to be like ever-increasing traffic and congestion that melts away with a turn to an open 2-lane road through desert country at dusk in the second part.  There is a rather long chill section in the middle to give the hypnotic feel of road travel.  Ancestral voices are in the alto sax part, speaking to the driver on his solitary journey.

I wish I could remember the singer's name, because I love her rendition of this Duke Ellington classic.
