Teen Town

I've been playing this tune off and on since the monster Weather Report album Heavy Weather was released in 1977. Teen Town is one of those tour-de-force bass tunes that everyone of a certain age knows & plays. I heard a cool Nawlins groove that Derek Hayden had posted on FB and amazingly this melody just popped into my head and hung in my mind for a few days, Derek and I did a tune recently with him playing marimba and I thought it would be cool if he traded off the head with my other friend Jeff Loewer on vibes in the half-time feel and then we would play it in unison double time at the end. I sucked in my good friend Jarrod Taylor to play some guitar and voila...
 
This was a gas to put together and we all hope you like it. #teentown #alhospers
