I can see a revival coming for this obscure tune. As Dan Adler pointed out on facebook, it is also a mutant variant of an earlier tune.
(edit: I see the tune was actually written by Donald Byrd).

Strangest album cover in jazz.

Looks a bit different now though.

Two things: Trumpeter Donald Byrd(Omicron) was a great musician . . . however, he is largely remembered for his Pop hit "Blackbird" --which came out in '73 and was a "crossover" commercial success as was Herbie Mann--one of the most commercially successful musicians of all time. In my day, Mann's name was said with a snicker since he was not considered a serious Jazzer. Most Jazzers think of James Moody, Hubert Laws, Frank Wess and Yussef Lateef in re: flute. Great piece, G.
