It is one of many songs written in tribute to jazz patroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter.
Thomas Owens describes the composition – "The trumpet melody, one of the great themes in jazz literature, is a 64-measure song in aaba form.
The accompaniment for the a sections is in a Latin style based on [...] one of Silver's favorite patterns.
In the bridge the accompaniment alternates between backbeat chordal punctuations and four-beat swing.
"[3] A vocal version was first recorded by Feather in 1983, and released the following year on the album Zanzibar.
