It says something of both the quality of the melody (one of Disney's finest) AND the artistry of ALL the musicians involved that Miles Davis (once, with BOTH Hank Mobley & the incomparable John Coltrane) and Dave Brubeck's Quartet (TWICE!) could make great recordings of this timeless tune.
It's crazy how this version came out before Miles Davis' version. I like both renditions for different reasons. Dave Brubeck's is light-hearted and bouncy, whereas Miles Davis' is slower, deeper, and poignant.
In my Alto days I wrote this solo out note for note, played everyday. Got chance to play in club and everybody love it.but the real musicians knew what was up.
Sign of a great drummer. Dave goes of into 2/4 ( or is it 4/4) anyway Joe just keeps playing 3/4 all the way through. I used to sit and try and most of the time got dragged away.
