The Exis Jaxn Band originally intended to emphasize vocals. Here both Galen and Kelsey harmonize vocally with Bruce on this early training piece in Latin jazz genre. This style has always been a favorite of the band. In this recording, Bruce did the bass work, Kelsey (age 12) was on synthesizer, and Aaron (age 14) played set. This recording was shortened into a demo format typical of early Exis Jaxn recordings. Recorded in 1998.
