Devour Music

This version of the Bud Powell composition "Tempus Fugue-It" was developed by Vital Information featuring Manuel Valera on piano and Janek Gwizdala on electric bass. The tune is challenging to play because of the up-tempo and there are a few figures to negotiate.

We recorded Tempus Fugue-It on the Vital Information album TIME FLIES.
