Moments Worth Waiting For
The sprawling eight-minute improvisational stretch on the final track where the saxophone and vocals trade blues licks.
The sudden shift from a tight R&B groove to a lush, string-laden bridge during track three.
The way the rhythm section drops to a whisper on the title track, leaving only a dry, intimate vocal.
