Yes....Richard....I agree about Howard's work on 'Family Thing'...I was so 
impressed when I fisrt heard it I bought the soundtrack. It's Howard with 
some onf NY's finest studio players and it kicks BUTT!

Ben, yeah, it sounds like a LOW Eb to me too....I'm Winded just listening,-)
This is Duke Ellington's MOOD INDIGO in Ab, I guess on a low Eb (12th 
Position). I Love Louie Armstrong's VOCAL version of this song as well.

best,
Rob Paparozzi
