A New Orleans shuffle rhythm, mournful clarinet and shimmering vibraphone, joined by accordion drones, develops into a twisting melodic theme, which is interrupted by an eerie, wailing exchange between clarinet and accordion before an acoustic bass reintroduces the pulse and the oblique, captivating melody returns.
Drum rolls usher in a slow unison riff on clarinet and accordion, which is repeated with counterpoint and variations until the rhythm gives way to ethereal, extended drones from clarinet, saxophone, accordion and vibraphone.
