My dad liked his partner Paul Desmond more than any sax player other than Stan Getz.
My dad dug all that cool jazz stuff, so I was probably 5 or 6 the first time I heard this sing.
Later (7th or 8th grade), one of the local channels used it as the theme for their Sunday afternoon movies.
That whole album was designed to explore unusual time signatures. Some awfully cool stuff on there.
