The quintet opens their ten-tune set with Cole Porter's standard at a medium 155 BPM, introducing the two-horn frontline that carries through the evening. Weiner leads with three choruses on tenor saxophone over the 32-bar AA' form, Iida follows with four on trumpet, and Kreibich adds three on keyboard. The even distribution of solos across the three melodic voices establishes the democratic approach that characterizes the session. Porter composed the piece for the 1955 Broadway musical Silk Stockings, and its elegant melody and satisfying chord changes have made it a durable jazz standard. The brief one-and-a-half-minute runtime suggests a brisk reading with compact solos, setting up the longer performances that follow. The set continues with Hank Mobley's This I Dig of You, stepping up the tempo.
