In this piece, as much as I love the guitar solo, Larnell absolutely _kills_ it. Those wacky off-kilter grooves that he effortlessly blows through are just mind-bending.

That dude is a complete beast. I can’t believe the things he can do and those are the ones he is showing us. What can he do just messing around in his own right.

This whole record/session is just a treasure trove of tasteful grooves and killer riffs. This tune is no exception!

So right Jeff

Michael League's explanation of the name of this tune (from the notes included when you purchase the published mini-score - yes, this and many others are published on the SP online store): "We had just played a gig in Liverpool, UK, at Kazimier. I was in my 6th day of Noro Virus affliction (which is basically a flu on steroids) during its epidemic over there, so I was quarantined in a bedroom that had been meant to sleep two of us. Without the extra space, one guy was left to have to sleep on the floor. This unenviable position was left, of course, to the last guy to come back that night after the post-gig hang. I was sound asleep in a fever coma at about 4:00am when I awoke to someone screaming their lungs out upstairs. All that I, or anyone else, on the block heard for about 15 straight minutes, was “Really? Really?! What about me, ************? What about ME?!”"

Wow that’s and interesting story thanks for sharing Mark!

To your comment about players in the band "staying within boundaries", this is something I've heard in interviews with some of the players, e.g. guitarist Mark Lettieri has spoken about how, with a band this big, it is important for everyone to "stay in their lane" for the most part.

vote for Sleeper next, the other keyboardist getting to shine with Corey looking on :-)

5:45 is the moment when they have a massive solo in unisono. Finally here everyone is on solo:)

Man they are incredible. Wow!

4:34 always love how the string section seems blindsided by this part.

Right I saw the looks. Deserved though.

You should watch the behind the scenes video of this recording session. Larnell learned most of these songs on the plane ride over to the Netherlands from the states.

Every single one of those guys is good enough to have their own solo album. That's what makes this so incredible.

It was ok...for a jazz improvised guitar solo not exceptional. Mark Lettieri the other guitarist is actually much better.

1 point: Larnell learned this entire album ON THE FLIGHT OVER.

You need to get into some latin jazz. Check out Michel Camilo "And Sammy walked in" the big band version. Just on this level.

Check out Bill Laurance (he's part of this band as well). He did a solo project with a few of the band members including Larnell. Definitely worthy of a reaction video!

Ok E Dubb thanks for that suggestion! I’ll add that to thr list.

Good stuff. I really prefer this song over Lingus and think it should get just as much recognition. Larnell is going nuts every second of it. I really recommend you follow it up with Binky, specifically from the Dunlop session. Incredible song and performance. kzread.info/dash/bejne/e3ltq5iHoqiYg5M.html Starts around 2:27.
