The beloved Miles Davis / Victor Feldman composition and title track for the 1963 Columbia recording featuring Miles, George Coleman (tenor sax), Herbie Hancock (piano), Ron Carter (bass), and Tony Williams (drums). This saxophone quintet with bass (electric is preferred, but upright could work) and drums opens with a funky hook figure and settles into a swinging, harmonized treatment of the melody. Chord changes are provided for the tenor sax soloist, who is accompanied by background figures performed by the other saxes. A challenging, Supersax-style soli takes place over the chord progression. A fun and lighthearted straight eighth waltz treatment of the melody gives way to swing and, finally, a return to the funky, swinging shuffle. A demo of the full soli section only is available at  http://gutermusic.com/Site/Writer.html

Demos produced and performed by Gerhard Guter, using the Roland Aerophone A-10 digital wind instrument.
