The record
Khan and Davis wind two basses around each other while Haynes stays loose behind the beat, part of Hill's dense run of Blue Note sessions from late 1963. The writing is harmonically restless, rarely landing where the ear expects it to.

Pressings
Nothing earlier than 1966 is on file. The earliest listed is a US stereo BST 84160 with New York labels, an RVG stamp, a Plastylite ear and a laminated sleeve; a mono BLP 4160 from the same year also shows the ear. Other 1966 rows are repressings with the stamp only. After that: a 1970 stereo reissue and a 1995 Blue Note limited edition, B1 7243 8 32097 1 2.
