Based on a cadence played at my High School called "Combo." The composer of the cadence is uncertain but I believe his name was Devin. The piece is divided into 3 sections. I composed the initial riff in a fairly straightforward way. The second riff follows the tenor drums almost directly. During the third section I decided to include a trumpet melody to play over the ostinato riff underneath.
Three gong hits introduce the piece, and the album consequently. This is a nod to the introduction to Birds of Fire by the Mahavishnu Orchestra; a highly influential album for me. The title refers to an early band I was in sometime around the turn of the century.
I have provided the links to the piece below.
