Go-Go flavored track “Mad Max” celebrates the city where Godfrey’s career as a gigging jazz musician began, hometown Washington DC. Godfrey remembers playing gigs in DC’s Adams Morgan and U street until midnight as a teenager, where he first heard the grooving sounds of DC’s official music, go-go. “Mad Max” pays tribute with the same thumping drum part and gliding congas, along with intricate solis dancing across the groove. Nick Suchecki’s raunchy bari sax solo, Eli Blocks’ hip offering on trumpet, and Godfrey’s drum solo all bounce through the tune like dancers on the floor at a Chuck Brown concert.
