"The Ghetto Walk" is a composite, comprising material from takes 13, 5, and 10.
Several edits are audible, e.g. 2:36, 6:56, 9:31, 20:17. A number of phrases from
"Shhh/Peaceful" crop up in Davis' solo (13:46-17:54).
As with many Davis originals from late 1968-early 1969, the influence of Jimi Hendrix
seems obvious on "The Ghetto Walk," especially the opening and closing statements
of the main theme. Shorter has a particularly nice solo on this tune, and Chambers'
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.
Around this time the Quintet (with Jack De Johnette on drums) was booked
for three weeks at Club Baron in New York (January 25-February 16); subsequent
engagements include Duffy's Backstage, Rochester (February 25-March 2); the
Cellar Door Club, Washington DC (March 10-15); and SUNY-Stony Brook Gymnasium
(March 21).
