There is an element of celebration, a bright whoopee sound, to his playing that might be unique. I'll have to think about that. But thank you for directing my attention to 'Home Run'.Ken Blanchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09580209017016829598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805095272435181099.post-62256609314407523632010-06-05T20:42:32.097-05:002010-06-05T20:42:32.097-05:00I hope other readers who listen to it for the firs...I hope other readers who listen to it for the first time enjoy it as much as me.<br />I love the way the song evolves and at the end is almost totally different from the start, which the outro emphasises. It was this song that really opened my eyes to just how much bop has to offer.

The first time I heard Home Run I fell in love with it, it's still one of my favorite tracks.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842221765423538133noreply@blogger.com
