Prior to the release of the Complete Legacy Jack Johnson Sessions
(Columbia Legacy C5K 86359), this version of "Willie Nelson" -- much more
spirited than the remake from February 27 -- was only issued as part of
"Yesternow" on side B of Tribute to Jack Johnson. Several edits
are audible there, e.g. at 4:53 and 4:57. Here is a rough guide to the
territory:
Yesternow 13:57-18:34 = Willie Nelson take 3 (0:04-4:43)
Yesternow 18:34-18:49 = Willie Nelson insert 1 (5:50-6:05)
Yesternow 18:49-18:53 = Willie Nelson insert 1 (6:21-6:25)
Yesternow 18:53-23:52 = Willie Nelson insert 2 (0:08-5:13)
The liner notes to Columbia Legacy C5K 86359 state that take 2 of "Willie Nelson"
was used in the issued version of "Yesternow"; but as the list above indicates,
take 3 was used along with insert 1 and 2.
Corea had discovered the echoplex and adds it to his instrument on takes 2-3
and insert 1; Sharrock uses the echoplex during insert 2, where Corea does not
play.
Davis had various groups in the studio throughout the first half of 1970 -- fourteen
dates in the first half of the year! Some of the music recorded in the studio during
this period -- e.g. "Willie Nelson," "Honky Tonk," "The Mask" -- was immediately
added to the live book.
The Davis Sextet maintained a busy touring schedule throughout this period: Cellar
Door, Washington (January 12-17); Spectrum, Philadelphia (January 18); Schwab Auditorium,
Pennsylvania State University (February 14); Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor (February
21); Fillmore East, New York (March 6-7); Fillmore West, San Francisco (April 9-12);
Shelly's Manne-Hole, Los Angeles (April 14-26); Both/And Club, San Francisco (April 28).
Thanks to Mark White and Pat Buzby for his help with this session, and to Ron Fritts
for help with Davis' itinerary.
