Two chords and all the space in the world, Davis proving that less was the most radical idea in jazz.

Garrison's four notes, then Coltrane overdubbing the chant nineteen times, one December day at Van Gelder's.

A twelve-bar blues in 6/8, take two the only complete one, and Paul Chambers' bass figure underneath everything.

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