damn that's Eddie on Sax, as soon as he plays it's like BOOM/ Ed in the house.
-
GODDAMMIT
-
Love everything about this song, except you cut off the intro. Shame on you.
Eddie Harris is the Man. His "Second Movement" with McCann is awesome as well.
-
All of these guys were fantastic... but Benny Bailey tears it up in this one... he never played better trumpet than his solo at Montreaux...
-
Heard the GODDAMNIT in the movie "Casino" from 1995. Now, at long last, i've found the song!
-
1 of realist tracks ive ever heard "GODDAMMIT"
-
Leave it to the legendary Martin Scorsese to open a scene with "GODDAMMIT!" from this song, on the soundtrack!

I agree. The "GODDAMMIT" part is perhaps the most effective part of the song besides the groove.

I'm astounded at the reception I got for posting this song. Gil Scott-Heron did much better stuff in the day but he was too real for most people to handle. This song had a good mix of levity and reality, not to mention a killer groove.
