Several edits are audible, e.g. 2:36, 9:31, 20:17. A number of phrases from "Shhh/Peaceful"
crop up in Davis's solo (13:46-17:54).
As with many Davis originals from late 1968-early 1969, the influence of Jimi Hendrix
seems obvious on "Ghetto Walk," especially the opening and closing statements of
the main theme. Shorter has a particularly nice solo on this tune, and Chambers's
flexible understated drumming goes well with the loping stop-start tempo.
Chambers was apparently recruited by Corea for this session, his only studio date
with Davis. Soon afterward the Quintet (with Jack De Johnette on drums) was booked
at Duffy's Backstage, Rochester (February 25-March 2) and the Cellar Door Club,
Washington (March 10-15).
