Following the slow ballad reading of Body and Soul, the quartet pivots to Herbie Hancock's funk blues, bringing the energy back up with a groove-based 129 BPM feel. The 16-bar blues form gets three rounds of solos — Lefkowitz-Brown opens with two choruses of tenor saxophone over the funk pattern, Chmielinski follows with two choruses on acoustic bass, and Feifke closes out the solo section with two choruses on piano. The even distribution of two choruses apiece gives each soloist a contained statement within the nearly fourteen-minute performance. Hancock originally composed this piece for his 1962 Blue Note debut Takin' Off, where it became an unexpected crossover hit. The Chad LB Quartet's version retains the funky rhythmic character of the original rather than converting it into a straight-ahead swing vehicle, with Carter's drumming maintaining the backbeat-driven groove throughout. Positioned at the midpoint of the six-tune set, the tune provides a change of harmonic and rhythmic vocabulary from the jazz standards surrounding it.
