Some notes about the composition as found on
https://www.jazzguitarcomprehensive.com/

Composer: Woody Shaw

Year: 1965

Origin: Debuted on Larry Young's album Unity.

Style: Swing, usually played at an up tempo.

Form: A-A-B-A (54 Bars) [14-14-12-14]
The last 4 bars of the B section are played with a Samba feel.

Key: Atonal

Harmony/Overview: The harmony of this composition is not functional, and the melody is centered around a pentatonic line that makes extensive use of various side-stepping techniques. Take the first few changes of the A sections for example: Cm7 - Amaj7 - AbMaj7. To outline the harmony the melody moves from G minor pentatonic (Cmi7) to G# minor pentatonic (AMaj7), and finishes off the phrase with F minor pentatonic (AbMaj7). The rest of the melody continues in a similar fashion, weaving in and out of the seemingly unrelated chord changes with passages that are made up almost entirely of 4ths. The bridge is also rather complex, beginning with Gmi6 - Ab7sus - Bmin7 - Dmin7. Despite the changes that seem to have nothing to do with one other, the upper-structures of the first few chords manage to consist of Maj7 chords that descend Major 3rds: Gmi6 (BbMaj7) - Ab7sus (GbMaj7) - Bmi7 (DMaj7). The final 4 bars are made up of 7sus chords descending in minor 3rd's.

Recordings: This song has been recorded just a handful of times to date. It was first introduced on Larry Young's album Unity in 1965, and this was the only occasion that Woody Shaw ever recorded it. It has since become one of Shaw's most cherished compositions, and it offers tremendous insight into his distinctly individualistic harmonic and melodic concept.
