"The Big Wave"

edit

(Gubbio, Italy, March 1993)[4] Scott Henderson, during the child-like intro of "The Big Wave":

"This is a tune that Willis wrote, it's..uhh...kinda about the situation in Los Angeles as far as the music scene, has anybody ever been there? Los Angeles people? You're not missing anything believe me.. All the jazz there sounds exactly like this. It's very happy and pleasant....So we hate it! So we're gonna play a tune dedicated to the situation and the Los Angeles jazz scene."
