I didn’t intend for the “tune of the moment” to be an all Steve Swallow feature, but what the hell, I’m just playing his stuff a lot these days. Like a lot of his tunes, it’s very friendly, but sits a little… funny. They’re good for blowing in that they make you think a little bit, and don’t make it easy for you to just play to the big emotional payoff. I play this with an ECMish half time funk feel- at least yesterday I did.
