Oooh! I didn't know there were so many beautiful paintings of saxophones and guitars out there - very painterly, loose and free and caputuring the essence of musicianship! And I've been a big fan of that piece of music since it came out in the 1970s!

[joiedevivre2010]

I first heard this around 1974 at my cousins house he played it over and over and it got into my head. didn 't hear it again for 30 years , but used to sing HARD WORK out loud with the music in my head . every time at my job I saw someone goofing off. I would go HARD WORK DA DAD DADDA HARD WORK PRAP PRAP PRAPPA PRAPPADA DA DAT DA.. SO GLAD I FOUND THIS SONG AFTER 40 YEARS. but I been singing it for 35 years at work. and I twist them everytime. funny ther stuff I remember as a kid

This brings back my father, up in the den, jammin' to his favorites! A little Canonball Adderley here, some Jazz Caravan there, it inspired me to explore jazz as a young man... you could only take so such "P-Funk"!
