first one is milestones and the second one? what is it?

[60otaku3]

The second tune is "Half Nelson" (composed by Miles Davis) based on a chord progression of Tadd Dameron's "Lady Bird".

@dreadwicked Bird played tenor on a few of the Savoy recordings. He played tenor on Miles Davis' first recording date on the Savoy label. These included tunes like Half Nelson, and Sippin' at Bell's.

@60otaku3 Yeah he did play Tenor.

@dreadwicked Yeah and with Charlie Barnett he played Tenor in the early 1940s

Because of a Musician Union issue, Bird recorded this on Tenor. To limit his appearance/visibility he only played on the Bridge .
