From my old days - this tune is a perfect example of a rhythm section providing a beautiful, energetic, but DISCIPLINED groove for the soloist.
Nothing frantic, egotistical or complicated, just like a fine watch where all the moving parts are harmoniously (!) in sync.
IMFO, of course.
(I used to hear Spyro Gyra play this tune in Buffalo before they became Famou$, TMI.)
Also, too - the changes of the tune are Fmin7/Cmin7/Ab7,9,sus/Dbmaj7...until the Bridge, @3:05, which is yours to hear and discover.
Thx.
