Notes

Recorded on June 17, 1964.

'Both"One FInger Snap" and "Oliloqui Valley" were recorded at the beginning of this classic recording session and then remade at the end of the date. The master take of "One Finger Snap" was chosen from the beginning of the date, while its previously unissued alternate take is a remake at the end of the date. For "Oliloqui Valley", the master is a remake, while the alternate is the firs chosen take. In each case, both takes are masterful performances that deserve release. - Michael Cuscuna'
