1/ Siiva Moiiva (7:11) – horns start in a slow hesitant repetitive riff with kind of a New Orleans flavor> bass/drums duet> slow jam with sax out front> trumpet joins> jam swings uptempo & frenzied> slows to off-kilter slow jam with hesitant repetitive riff with a New Orleans flavor>
*2/ Verboten Chant (5:32) – horns start> off-kilter midtempo jam> bass solo> midtempo jam> trumpet solo> sax solo swings into wild uptempo jam> pause> a series of horn blasts> quick stop
*3/ El Maquech (5:57) – drums start> uptempo jam with Latin vibe> sax & trumpet trade solos> rocking uptempo jam> wild sax solo> off-kilter uptempo jam> pause> short uptempo jam> quick stop
*4/ Erroneous Love (5:51) – sax starts> fast jam> trumpet solo> sax solo> uptempo jam with trumpet & sax arguing back & forth> pause> slow quiet jam> builds in volume & intensity> quick blast at end for punctuation
5/ Shall We (if You Really Must Insist) (2:43) – trumpet starts> fast jam> trumpet solo swings wild> intermittent fast jam> quick stop
6/ Get Thee Behind Me Satan (6:16) – trumpet starts> slow hesitant jam> trumpet solo> slow jam> hesitant sax solo> fade on sax
**7/ Henry Ford Hospital (5:23) – spirited blasts from horns morph into uptempo off-kilter jam> drums/bass duet into uptempo jam shift with wild horns> trumpet solo like a herd of elephants charging> uptempo jam> quick fade
*8/ Pour Maman (6:50) – cymbals/bass start> slow jam builds in volume & intensity> pause> loud wild brash slow jam with both horns soloing over the top> slow to slow tempo abrasive jam & mellows to fade
