Good music. The classic Sixties big band sound, with vamps, shimmering extended fourth chords, Latin rhythms, the occasional free section, and structures extending beyond the Great American Songbook tradition. It was a style ancestral to jazz-rock. Yes, this is a more recent piece, but that's the music Kenny Wheeler came up as a part of, and you can hear it. Reminds me of early Mike Westbrook, Don Ellis (but without the odd meters), or maybe Chick Corea rearranged for big band.
