Some notes about the composition as found on
https://www.jazzguitarcomprehensive.com/

Composer: Kenny Dorham

Year: 1963

Origin: Debuted on Joe Henderson's album Page One.

Style: Latin/Straight

Form: A-B (16 Bars) [8-8]
The head is typically played twice on the way in and out, and the last 4 bars of the form are usually used as a tag ending.

Key: C minor

Harmony/Overview: The harmony of this composition is functional and very straightforward. The A sections move from Imi to IVmi before a IImi7b5 - V7 back to Imi. The bridge begins with a II - V of bIIMaj7 before a final IImi7b5 - V7 returns back to the tonic minor.

Recordings: This song has been recorded hundreds of times and is one of the most widely known standards of all time amongst jazz musicians. The first recording comes from Joe Henderson's 1963 album Page One, and he would record it on several other occasions in his career. Due to the simplicity of the piece it has become one of the most commonly played tunes amongst students. The association of this composition with beginners has resulted in the tune being favored much more so in jam session situations as opposed to in the studio, and it is often one of the first tunes that jazz musicians learn.
