BEAUTIFUL!!! I had the honor of playing guitar in Hank's jazz ensemble at his "home" in Towson University (Towson Maryland) He was so sociable and just loved talking about the new groups coming into the spotlight during that time. I miss him madly! Time For A Change is a monster chart! You guys pulled it off!!! Hank's proud of you! 9/4 Time is hell to play LOL! Not as bad as
 Three and Half Over Four he wrote. Hank loved exotic time signatures. I fondly remember him
"scolding" me for playing a Freddie Green rhythm guitar comp in one of his charts. He said - "PLEASE KEEP FREDDIE OUT OF MY BAND ROOM" - I quickly learned to "stop comp" that day.
LOL!

So many good things happening here. Great sounding band.

Nice. This isn't an easy chart to pull off because of the odd time signature. This band does a great job of it.

Maybe a bit fast for my tastes. It loses some of that relaxed feel. But nice.
