Me too, a nice surprise. Original title was "Fly Right". Truly, a recording that was years ahead of its time

There's also a great version on RCA Victor by Kenny Clarke and his 52nd Street Men from 1945-1946(?).
Awesome stuff!!!

AMAZING, I thought Monk was the first to record this, in the late-1940s for Blue Note - WOW!

Yes that's right. Recorded before the 1942-44 recording ban. Definitely BOP. Notice how the other trumpet player, Joe Guy (not Cootie) deliberately avoids major scales. A classic

Great recording, fantastic solos by Ken Kersey (piano) and Joe Guy (trp) - one of the earliest Bebop tunes!
Thank you!
