After that comes an intro-like part to give the soloist a nice pick-up into a repeated solo chorus, where the rest of the band provide backgrounds the second time. The solo ends in a short interlude, setting off a sax chorus that goes into an ensemble and shout chorus; all ending in an intro-like interlude that in a similar way sets the vocalist off in the last wind-backgrounded theme &#8211; this time with a slightly altered lyrics. The piece then ends similarly to the intro, but with some added sax section fills.
