In all probability, Ellington never heard "Caravan" treated in this manner, where opposing forces are held in such delicate balance. The melody and groove are present literally enough, while the surrounding harmonies and rhythms test convention, creating a vibrant, multidimensional acoustic environment.... The album's centerpiece, however, is Davis's "Happy Valley Blues," an extended piece that balances composition and improvisation, resulting in contrasting moods and textures that take full advantage of the textures that take full advantage of the trio's vast musical resources.
