[TOMT] [MUSIC - PRE 80'S] Need the name of a jazz song with pentatonic horn line

I'm looking for the title of a jazz song that I remember some university music students I knew played about 20 years ago. It featured a horn line that goes (and forgive me for this): ba da daaa daa daa, ba da daaa daa daa, daaa daa daa daa daa daa da da (which repeats again).

I believe it's a minor pentatonic. If I write the melody in C, it would kinda go: C Eb G Eb C, C Eb G Eb C, C Bb G F Eb C C C.

Flea and Tree played this at the start of the Red Hot Chili Peppers 'What Hits' VHS/DVD back in the 90s. I can't find any trace of it in jazz standards I have. Would love to know the title, please help.
