Tunes History

Pithecanthropus Erectus will only be played once after that, in 1970 during the America sessions. It has seen been covered by Hal Willner, and Paul Motian.

A Foggy Day (a Gershwin classic) had previously been played by Mingus with Hazel Scott (1955) and Max Roach (at the Bohemia, two takes, 1955) and will never be played again by him. All three renditions are on the Debut Complete set.

Profile of Jackie has been played only once, and has not been covered.

Love Chant was played twice before (again at the Bohemia), and never after. Herbie Mann, and Andrew Hill covered it.
