This composition was written and dedicated to Makanda's first wife Charlotte affectionately known as 'Charshee." You can see her in one of the b/w photo's taken at the foot of the stage at the Five Spot, smiling up at the band -tape recorder in front of her with microphone in her hand. Although written and recorded over 50 years ago it still sounds fresh and original, particularly hearing the rare combination of Flute and Trombone in duet - a rare feat.
