I remember reading a liner note review of this song on a Miles Prestige compllation

album in the 60's,and it stated that critic Leonard Feather played this record for

Charles Mingus in a blindfold test. Mingus thought Dave Schildkraut was Charlie Parker! What a compliment. While every alto player was trying to imitate Bird's

style,Schildkraut was playing Bird's essence on this tune. I don't believe he ever

was able to capture it again on record.But what a compliment Mingus paid him!

Dave Schildkraut's play sounds like early Cannonball Adderley too sometimes.

This album introduced me to the early Miles albums. I bought a cheap spanish pressing of the lp with a different cover. I was so amazed that i had to go back to the record store and spend a small fortune on Dig, Blue Haze and a compilation of even earlier stuff :D
