In fairness to Lightningrider83....you will rarely hear such a clean tone on the alto sax as this one...Paul Desmond...dare one say,true genius?

We're playing this in jazz band and its not an easy song to play in general, time and correctly. The arrangement we play is by Calvin Custer and it constantly switches from 9/8 to 4/4. Enjoyable though!

What genre did this end up being called? Cool? Or post-bop? Still damned good!

I see what you're talking about, but the songs are completely different rhythmically. the chords and the melodies are definitely similar in some parts, though.
