Drummer Victor Lewis contributes his own composition to the program, an original with a Latin feel and a spacious 48-bar AAB form at 204 BPM. Dillard takes three choruses on tenor saxophone and Cohen follows with nearly four on piano, while Lewis himself is listed with a brief drum feature. The fourteen-minute performance is the evening's longest, with the Latin groove and long form providing a rhythmic and structural departure from the swing-based standards surrounding it. Having the drummer's original in the setlist adds a personal dimension to the concert, reflecting the Live From Emmet's Place tradition of showcasing guest artists' compositions alongside standards. Lewis is one of jazz's most accomplished drummers, with decades of experience alongside artists from Stan Getz to Bobby Hutcherson, and hearing the band interpret his writing reveals a different side of the evening's musical conversation.
