Bandleader Ken Weiner's original composition arrives as the third tune, placing it early enough in the set to establish his voice as a composer alongside the standards. At 188 BPM with a swing feel over a 32-bar AABA form in G, the tune sits comfortably in the hard bop tradition. All four melodic voices solo — Weiner takes four choruses on tenor, Iida matches with four on trumpet, Kreibich adds three on keyboard, and bassist Otto contributes a single-chorus bass solo. The nearly ten-minute performance demonstrates that Weiner's original holds up alongside the Mobley, Porter, and Monk compositions in the program, providing the soloists with engaging harmonic material. The quintet continues to share solo space evenly across the frontline, maintaining the collaborative spirit of the session.
