Funk in deep Freeze

I had the good fortune of going for lunch with Bob Mintzer a few years back and took the time to ask him a lot of questions about his main influences and how he became such a fantastic musician. A lot of fantastic stories were told (and a lot of sushi was devoured) One thing that stuck with me was his immense love of Hank Mobley. I was first exposed to Hank through the tune "funk in deep freeze" (or maybe "this I dig of you") my good friend Earl MacDonald really loved that tune and we played it a lot one year. Inspired by Bob I really got into Hank, and can now be counted as one of his fans! I hope you enjoy this track
