What memories-- I first heard this on Hazen Schumacher's (1927-2015) "Jazz Revisited" radio program (1967-1997) in the 1970's, I believe the particular show was a special on Bill Harris. In any case, I was flipping through a jazz encyclopedia tonight and came across Harris' name, and I remembered the title of this tune due to it's unusual nature, and sure enough-- here it is on UA-cam, so I can hear it again after some 45 years! Classic bebop sound, if there ever was! Thanks Johnny! (and thanks, Hazen-- RIP)
Bill Harris is my dads grandpa and him and his wife practically raised my dad into his teens... I showed him this and he was so happy it brought him a tear of joy... I have almost all of him original albums!!! Still trying to find more... I wish he was more well know!!!
+MADISON HARRIS He was pretty well known in his day. But alas, things do change.
The tune, incidentally, is very hip.

Hi Madison Harris. I have presented research on Bill Harris at jazz conventions. Are you on Facebook? I would love to speak with you.
Here is a pretty good article about Bill Harris

Madison, your great grandfather is a legend amongst jazz trombone players. I wish I could claim his family relationship within my Harris line!! :)
Bill Harris is a great inspiration of mine.

My Dad and Godfather Uncle Joe loved the awesome Bill Harris... The most underrated Jazz trombonist of his era!

This bio does not give much information about him. He had some other notable recordings, although they are not listed. He was also with Norman Granz and Jazz at the Philharmonic (JATP). He died pretty young.
Check out Pete Candoli playing Dizzy's famous lick!!
Saw Flip but sadly not Bill - My Thanks for the post
Bill Harris possibly on bass trumpet here. It’s a valve instrument.
I guess it is listed as valve trombone.
