I used to think I was cool. Harvey Mason just proved scientifically that I am not only not cool, but I don't even know what cool is. I can now move past that and get on with life. Thank you Mr Mason.

Sounds like a mash-up of "Watermelon Man" and "Chameleon." I've played "Chameleon" several times with different jazz combos. Just when I think I might be close to Harvey's pocket, I'll listen to the original a few days later only to be reminded of just how far away I am from Harvey's pocket.

that's right no only that it was a dance floor classic ,, in the UK part of the funk bible out here ,, students use this song & like you say for jamming rites & over the years moved far away from the source pocket of groove ,, now folks should start changing gears back to how Harvey likes it,, Herbie too
