...Blue Rondo A La Turk, but he told Paul (they were so sympatico I think they shared one musical mind), that he wanted the record to experiment with unusual time signatures and feels.
Paul took that plan forward & came up with Take 5.
Paul was my dad's second favorite sax player. (He was a cool jazz lover.)
Only Stan Getz took a higher spot than Paul for my dad.
It's why I heard so much of the West Coast jazz sound when I was a kid learning jazz piano.
Oddly, despite that exposure, I gravitated to more bop & post-bop. Unfortunately, my dad didn't like that kind of jazz!
