Hahahaha!

Idris (…forgot his pre-Muslim name…) was a well-known drummer that played with some of the greats so when I first heard this in 1975, I was listening more to the beat and specifically, his drumming. Back in those days, the “new” jazz put out by CTI and Kudu was the “in” thing and more appealing to the masses, or like me, 20-year olds newly exposed to jazz. Nonetheless, thanks for listening anyway. For me, it takes me back to the beginnings of my musical broadening and the people that helped me expand my width and breath of my listening choices.
