Some notes about the composition as found on
www.jazzguitarcomprehensive.com/
Composer: Benny Golson
Year: 1955
Origin: First recorded on the album The New Miles Davis Quintet.
Style: Swing, taken at a wide variety of tempos.
Form: A-B-A (36 Bars) [14-8-14]
The last 4 bars of the A sections during the head are usually played with a Latin feel.
Key: Db Major
Harmony/Overview: Although the harmony of this composition is centered mainly around II - V's it is complex and not very conventional. The A sections begin with a II - V to IMaj7, only it is preceded by a chromatic II - V from above. A V7#5 of III then resolves deceptively to a II - V of IVMaj7 before a minor II - V of III sets up the final III - VI - II - V which concludes the form. The bridge begins on IIImi7 and continues with a series of chromatic Dominant 7 chords.
Recordings: This song has been recorded over 110 times to date and it is one of Benny Golson's most popular compositions. It was first recorded in 1955 by Miles Davis on his album Miles: The New Miles Davis Quintet. Countless recording have been made by many of the jazz titans of the 20th century from the likes of Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones, Blue Mitchell, and Jackie McLean to name a few. It continues to be performed frequently to this day and remains a popular jam session number.
