[NO]Denne jazz standarden fra 1962 har blitt spilt inn i flere ulike versjoner, fra Herbie Hancock´s egne «jazz/rock»-versjoner til Mongo Santamaria´s «latin pop»-versjon.
Arrangementet i ShowBlow (5 piece-format) er tett opp under originalen, med tillegg av noen typiske «funky blåseriff», og arrangert i et toneleie som sikrer et vellykket resultat selv med uerfarne musikere!
