I don´t remember if I ever saw that album with that title. 

The title "Odjenar" I think was on the Prestige album "Lee Konitz-Miles Davis", a very very strange album which sounds quite experimental , more like chamber music I think....  
I remember my wife had bought it for me, since she saw the names of the musicians and that I might not have it in that combination. 

But the Title Conception as I remember was on the Prestige Album "Dig", that extended session with Jackie McLean and Sonny Rollins .... it is Miles´  version of that tune, not the original AABA form with 12 bars in the A sections and 8 bars in the bridge and in Db. Miles does the A section, but in C, and it has a unusual form with a pedal point section in it. 
I usually play the regular AABA form of the tune in Db but out of curiosity once tried the Miles version and ok, you have to take care to keep the unsymmetrical form, but you get it.....

Some strange things here. The title "Dig" actually was composed by Jackie Mc Lean (on the chords of Georgia Brown), and I like most the title "Out of Blue" (based on "Get Happy"), very nice to play....

Shirley Horn, “I Remember Miles” Verve cd

Yes, she’s a great, moving singer. . . but I find her piano playing equally fascinating.

As soon as I put this on I was reminded I have better sounding versions of these albums. . . but the music. . . it sucked me right in.

Just curious, jazzbo.  Which version(s) do you think sound best?
