@TyedSoel: watch the Bill Evans set in Helsinki. From the horse's mouth.

I'm fairly certain that Miles Davis actually wrote this song for Cannonball Adderley. Too few views on the video-this is a classic!

@Acct1941 The score I have has Miles Davis as author with Bill Evans in parenthesis

Evans tells how Miles came to write the tune for this record date of Adderley's and how he, Evans, began to play it regularly when no one else seemed to pick up on it. He makes clear is importance in relation to the genesis and development of modal jazz, the moment when composition, idea, praxis, and theory converged through the synergy in the minds of Miles and Evans that would come to be associated with the Kind of Blue sessions.

@Acct1941 Yeah you're right it is definitley a Miles composition you can even hear Billl Evans say it on an a live performance of the song at Birdland he tells it to the emcee and says Nardis, Miles Davis. Also this song and studio date was talked about by Orrin Keepnews on a video about Blue Mitchell. Its on youtube somewhere.

@TyedSoul I think you're wrong, I actually just watched Bill Evans' version, and all the comments agree with me. I know my jazz stories about "Nardis".
