In Horace Silver's own words, this sassy, bluesy shuffle with a bebop-style melody portrays a mythical man of rather dubious character. An alto, trumpet and trombone trio give the opening and closing presentations of the theme, and each of those players carries a full-length solo chorus in between. A sustained band chord with ad lib flourishes by the trio brings everything to a dramatic, satisfying close. Rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued. Duration 5:40.
