"My Funny Valentine" is from a different source, and the version in circulation
is a bit more than a half-tone flat. The time listed above is from a pitch-corrected
version. Tapes in circulation often include "My Funny Valentine" as an extra tune
at the end, after "The Theme," but I believe it belongs between "No Blues" and "All
Blues." There is a bit of finger-snapping at the end of the applause after "My Funny
Valentine," and this matches the finger-snapping at the beginning of "All Blues."
And from a programmatic point of view it's unlikely that "All Blues" would have
followed directly after "No Blues."
Davis was hospitalized in January 1966 for liver problems, and he spent the next
several months recuperating. Once again, the other members of the Quintet participated
in several Blue Note sessions:
Wayne Shorter, Adam's Apple (Shorter, Hancock: February 3 and 24);
Bobby Hutcherson, Happenings (Hancock: February 8);
Freddie Hubbard, Blue Spirits (Hancock: March 5);
Lee Morgan, Delightful-Lee (Shorter: April 8)
Late in the spring the Quintet was back at the Village Vanguard (April 1-3 and 8-10,
April 29-May 1, May 6-7 and 13-14). The Quintet (with Richard Davis subbing for
Ron Carter) also played some western venues in April-May 1966, beginning with the
Longhorn Jazz Festival in Austin (April 3). An engagement at Detroit's Masonic
Temple (May 8) was canceled, as was another in Washington at the Bohemian Caverns
on (May 23-28). In addition to the Portland show on this date (sponsored by Portland
State College, and recorded for broadcast by KPSU, the college radio station), the
Quintet played at Stanford University Auditorium on May 22. Jack Chambers (Milestones)
claims that the Davis Quintet was booked at Shelly's Manne-Hole from May 24-June
5, but the scheduled acts during this period were Wes Montgomery and the Wynton
Kelly Trio (May 10-24); the Gerald Wilson Big Band (May 26-June 5), and the Chico
Hamilton Group (June 7-17). The "Herbie Hancock Quartet" -- the Quintet minus Davis
-- was booked at the Both/And in San Francisco (June 7-19).
