Johnny Carisi was my uncle and I love this piece. It has stood the test of time because it is still being performed and recorded by people around the world. It is a masterpiece of modern jazz!
Israel was written by my father John E. Carisi is the late 40's in New York while haning out with Gil Evans and Miles. It was written more or less "for" Miles, but it quickly became a standard. My dad actually plays trumpet on this cut with Gerry Mulligan, Lee Konitz, Kenny Clarke, to name a few of the legends of the day.
