"At the end of the session, I thanked Mr. Jones profusely for agreeing to do it," Davis recounts to LondonJazz. "And he said, 'Why, Stevie? We had such a wonderful time, I think perhaps we ought to do it again.' So I said, 'Twist my arm!'"
The trio ended up laying a recital to tape at the South Orange, New Jersey, home of John Lee (the bassist, director, and coordinator of the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band). To Davis, the ensuing music emanated from something of a flow state: 'It was almost an out-of-body experience doing that date,' he says.
