I was in the 10th grade when this came out, we were driving our band director crazy , this was our morning JAM before Mr. Boone would come into the band room, not that he didn’t love jazz, but looking back I think he got annoyed because we weren’t in TUNE,,LOLOLOLOLO, this was my introduction into Jazz, I hadn’t even heard of Bird, Trane, Miles , etc. at that time,.

    I first came across this tune when I was 15 years old - oh so very long ago! My mom that it was "occult music" and told me to get it out of the house. So, being the young genius I was at the time, I took the album out on the drive way and tossed it into the air like a frisbee and caught it. I did this several times until a school friend cam by and asked what I was doing. The one second I took my eyes off the album it crashed to the pavement and broke into a million pieces! I couldn't wait to get to Music Land to buy another copy - an no, my mom didn't like it!
