A tune written by South African composer and piano player, Dollar Brand (now known as Abdullah Ibrahim). This one has the characteristic 'District 6' feel to it (the area in Cape Town where Brand was from). A lot of music that came from this area was a combination of church and African rhythm music.
This piece and John's arrangement typifies those characteristics, a 'churchy' feel with a great groove. Employed once again are the descending 'sixths' for the harmony of the main theme which are also employed for the improvisation section. John also shows how to use doubled up bass notes, creating rhythmic 'rolls' for improvising on.
