"I'm just like any other drummer. I stole things from other drummers I could think of. 'Manic Depression' comes to mind. I stole that completely from, of all people, the drummer called Ronnie Stephenson. It came from John Dankworth's 'African Waltz.' It's just what fitted in. I heard this rhythm that Jimi was playing on guitar and I thought, 'Oh yeah, it's that kind of feel.' So thank you Ronny Stephenson."

This song was released in 1961 while I was a senior in high school (in Brooklyn, NYC) and it is forever embedded in my musical brain. It took me a long time to find it on the web, and when I did, well enough said. A true musical classic. Would that more such music were being composed and appreciated by society today, but that ain't gonna happen. Sad...

I have a Cannonball Adderly recording of this, with a studio big band. Yes, it's a Galt McDermott composition.
