Elvin Jones "Three Card Molly" (Monte)

[slide_advantage_redoux]

How many different times did Elvin record his tune "Three Card Molly"? It seems to me that I have heard at least two different versions (both on blue note), and each was in a different key. One of which was in E minor. (I know the tune was names after the card game, but the game is called "three card monty"; why the difference in titles?)

I know the version on Genesis (quite well, in fact. it's a classic), but what's the other BN version?

I'd imagine that Molly was a woman friend, perhaps a shifty one.

I have always thought that it was a typo of "Three Card Monte"; you know, the street card game.

I have a tape that I made at the Vanguard with a over the top version with Andrew White and Ari Brown on tenors.
