-- guitar arr., tcg, '8?, '94
-- 4/4 // Keys: Dm; Ebm // Allegro
__3__
-- eighth notes (1 &) are "swing" 8ths: closer to 1 & & . . . .
DAH duh
-- what follows is the opening of the tune (after some Debussy-esque
ad-lib piano diddling by Evans), apparently the only pre-composed
part of the song; it's a neat interplay of bluesy bass and quartal
piano chords, both integrated into the following guitar "arrangement":
Form (32-bar): ||: A (8 measures) - A (8) - B (8) - A (8) :||

... rest of tune a free-form improv over the same A-A-B-A 32--|bar form: two
8-bar sections ("A-A") of Dm dorian, 8 bars of Ebm dorian ("B"), and 8 more
bars ("A") of Dm dorian. The bass starts "walking," the piano comps/
ad-libs quartal-modal chord voicings, and Miles & the other horn players
take leads in Dm & Ebm Dorian. (Dorian in Dm: d-e-f-g-a-b-c-d; Eb Dorian
a half-step higher). . . . Here's the start of Miles' lead, to give you a
better idea (note that the D dorian scale "fits" whether the chord is Dm7/11
or Em7/11: both consist of notes from this very scale)--
