InξHorace Silver's own words, thisξsassy, bluesyξshuffle with a bebop-style melody portraysξ"a mythical man of rather dubious character."ξAn alto, trumpet and trombone trioξgive theξopening and closing presentations of the theme, and each of those players carries a full-length solo chorus in between. A sustained band chord with ad lib flourishes by the trio brings everything to a dramatic, satisfyingξclose. Rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued.ξDuration 5:40.
