I look at it like the Sarah was the be but of the song and the Raeburn was the debut of the full composition. Dizzy was present for both,fwiw Perhaps overlooked today is what a hustler Dizzy was in those very early days of bebop.

Archie Bleyer owned Candid. Hentoff was A&R. -
Because of the date covered. We're not yet into Classic Quartet and Beyond territory here. Or ok, this is the Classic Quartet, but at it's very beginning. They're playing "Giant Steps fo crissakes!!! MUCH was to follow.

Saw him with KB last summer in Detroit and he was rock solid RIP

I first head him on a post-Charles Lloyd Chico Hamilton record. I was not particularly impressed. On Round Trip, he damn near gets drowned by the rhythm section. No shame there, truthfully, those guys were on their own plane. And then he made that record where he "interpreted" Bird solos. Why? Hell if I know. Overall, he's not somebody I really care about
