I've read conflicting interpretations of Terry's title, which apparently debuted in 1957... shortly after the Rosa Parks affair. Most seem to think it's an allusion to his time spent on the road with Ellington. Any definitive answers from Mr. Terry himself?

The road. The liner notes went on in great detail about how Clark is in Ellington's band, so he's on the road all the time, and how Ellington monopolizes his time so it's wonderful that he got away long enough to make this recording.
