  • I hear Wes in Jimi.

  • I love the entire album this song is from. Classic era with tasteful strings, not overbearing.

  • To quote William G. Leavitt: "He had ears like an elephant, and his solos were chord-scale perfect... and he couldn't read a note of music."

    I came upon this gem, accidentally, looking for Johnny Hodges recording of this, with Duke's band.

    What a treat.

  • it takes me to the Moon !

  • Beautiful take on a beautiful song. Incredible performance.

  • Incredibile feeling!
