Studio-rat perfectionism meets post-Beatnik ennui, where even the midlife crises and acrimonous breakups feel unremittingly smooth. The art-house movie enthusiasms, motor-scooter-revving bacchanals, and Eastern fascinations are some of Don and Walt’s most appealing coping mechanisms. And to hear Wayne Shorter soloing on the title cut is to know God.
