Hubbard on cornet, Van Gelder engineering, June 1964; Us3 later looped Hancock's vamp into the Top 10.

Pepper Adams' extended baritone solo, and a whole blues album Mingus cut in one February 1959 session.

Recorded May 5, 1959, with the band reading it cold, and those third-related key changes remain jazz's hardest exam.
