I think this is genuinely the best arranged track of all time. Insane horn parts. One of the best basslines of all time. Some of the best drumming you’ve ever heard. Stevie Wonder harmonica solo. Dizzy Gillespie trumpet solo. Extended outro where he individually shouts out the session musicians on the track and they each have time to shine. Stevie Wonder is hyped out of his mind for the entire duration and seems so authentically excited about his song. It’s ten and half minutes long and I wish it was double that.
I met Erin (@RIOTGRRRL) and Jake (@SLOWDAZZLE) last year after I started using PI.FYI—we organized a meetup before a Jonathan Richman show and immediately clicked over our shared taste in music and similar sensibilities. We started hanging out a lot and had some great times together. I’ve also gotten to know many of their friends, who are all really cool. Erin and Jake started dating a couple of months after the three of us became friends, but our group chat still pops off. Their friendship has meant a lot to me, especially since moving to NYC in 2023, and I really appreciate having them in my life.
Come hang with some PI.FYI folks at Franklin Park in Crown Heights in Brooklyn on 7/19 @ 6:30. riotgrrrl and slowdazzle will be there too! Link is the Partiful invited!
