No FCC’s

1. Caravan 10:01 medium tempo arrangement
2. Come Sunday 10:48 Ballad tempo/piano clarinet intro, great bass work.
3. The Queens Suite: Sunset And The Mockingbird: 4:05, beautiful, yearning.
4. Lightning Bugs And Frogs: 4:47, has that weird murky depth you want.
5. Le Sucrier Velours: A ballad. nice unison intro leads to Piano feature.
6. The Single Petal Of A Rose: 4:39 A Trombone Solo. Studio.
7. Northern Lights: 3:07. Insistent drums and the group creates aural streaks leads directly into next track.0
8. Apes And Peacocks: 5:11. Flows from track 7, Drums pick this up. Applause.
9. DEPK, from Far East Suite: 7:53 serves as an encore, fun, upbeat, playful. Applause fades in 4 seconds
