Miles Davis - Nardis

[GA Russell]

I was listening to Phil Woods' recording of Nardis today, and it occurred to me that I know nothing about the original recording, which I assume was a Miles Davis side because he wrote it.

A quick Google search didn't show me anything.

Does anyone know what album, what label, when, with whom, etc?

Never recorded by Miles. First recording is Cannonball Adderley: Portrait Of Cannonball on Riverside.

Thanks guys! I knew I could count on this group!

I had George Russell's version when I was in college, and I feel like I grew up with the song.

[Parkertown]

Great tune. Shame he never made his own recording of it though...
