Written by Jackie Mclean. Its amazing, but nevertheless understandable, that most people would have heard of "Kind of Blue" before hearing of this album. "Kind of Blue" is somewhat easier for most people to listen to; there is less of a hard-bop layover in contrast to this ablum. Still, this was just as innovative. The title track was modal prior to "Kind of Blue" (for that matter, the blowing section on "Amahd's Blues" was modal prior to either). I'm 32. This is the soundtrack to my youth

@drflor71 I can totally agree, being a bassist, myself. He's less "walking" and more "running". One of my favorites along with Oscar Pettiford.

This entire album is simply amazing, but as a a bass player, I must give props to Paul Chambers. His work on the upright bass is unmatched by almost any bass player in the late 20th century. Check out his "walking" bass line and his solo with the bow. It's absolutely fabulous.

I'm trying to transcribe this composition, and have just known that this version's theme is different from the earliest version.

@jay1beaux This may well be the greatest example of the Coltrane-Adderley trades, a truly integrated exchange that demonstrates the genius of both men. Adderley's reputation in particular appeared to take a severe beating following his commercial ventures (e.g., Mercy, Mercy, Mercy), reaching a point where some professionals questioned his status as a jazz musician. This one track alone says otherwise.

Very intense when Cannonball and Coltrane trade 12-bar choruses. Thanks for posting
