Interviewed him on KUVO a couple years ago and then saw him@ Dazzle, he's great. I'm Steve who is a fill-in DJ on KUVO. I have been with the station since 1989. Thanks for posting this one.
Jenkins is BADASS on that piano solo. Of course my favorite solo on that tune is the WILD MAN. After they finished that Vanguard gig they had to send the piano for a complete overhaul. LOL
Actually, my favorite version of this is a slightly toned down, samba-ish version by Cannonball on his 'PHENIX' release. Terriffic! This one here is hot, hot, hot!

Richie rules. I have great memories of him playing in New Hope Pa. with Eddie Jefferson in the late 70's
Richie mentions that Hi Fly is one of his earlier hits but doesn't mention the composer: Randy Weston.
