Trombone and tenor sax, recorded separately. No attempt was made to coordinate one with the other; after doing the staccato thing on sax I thought it might be nice to contrast that with longer notes on the trombone. Very minor change of tempo…

Since you’ve gone
It’s all gone south

What evil has been done…
