The final track of this album opens by going up and down half of a C minor scale in doubled, swung eighth notes before the contrasting phrase [read slowly] “pickup E-flat C E-flat, then F-sharp, long F.” On a ballad from this album that consists of suspended chords over an E-flat pedal tone, Jimmy Cobb and Wynton Kelly replaced the core players on drums and piano. This album includes unusual root movements in major thirds in a reharmonization of Eddie Vinson’s “Tune Up,” which follows “Cousin Mary” on this album’s A-side. This album’s 7-minute closing track takes its title from the initials of its bassist, Paul Chambers, and another track on this album is named for the bandleader’s first wife, “Naima.” A saxophonist’s namesake “changes” appear on the title track of, for 10 points, what 1960 album by John Coltrane? ■END■
