Freddie Hubbard recorded it back in 1970. Jack Wilkins pay respect to this piece in 1973. Yep, this is the version that was actually sampled for the "Sucka Nigga" song off of "A Tribe Called Quests" album "Midnight Marauders". I love this sample. I was just listening to this on my local Jazz station here in Denver (KUVO/89.3 FM). This is a great song and their are many, many different versions of this song. Believe it or not, this isn't the best rendition. It's still fresh though.
Bought this album when it came out for THIS song but haven't heard it in probably over 30 years...been looking for it...thanks so much for posting this.
The rhythm guitar's retro reverb effects are that little detail that makes the piece so much warmer.
