The issued version (take 4) of "Prince of Darkness" is an excerpt of a longer performance.

Davis does not play on either take of "Pee Wee," whose original title was "Attitude." This is the first Tony Williams composition to be recorded by the Quintet, though several other remarkable ones (notably "Hand Jive") followed soon afterward.

This is the third of several New York studio sessions during May-July 1967. These sessions allowed the Quintet to develop new repertoire centered around original compositions. Only a few of these tunes -- "Masqualero," "Nefertiti," and "Riot" -- became staples of the Davis Quintet's live performances, however.

After returning from the west coast in mid-May, the Quintet was booked at the Village Vanguard (June 2-4). They traveled to Atlanta GA for a concert on June 16 or 17, and to Newport RI for the Newport Jazz Festival (July 2). They were booked at the Village Gate (July 4-16 opposite Dizzy Gillespie, and August 15-27 opposite Ornette Coleman). They also played at The Watts Summer Festival, held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, on August 21-22.
