While a member of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, Horace Silver composed this tune in dedication to a devoted patron of bebop music, Pannonica de Koenigswarter. Our hosts break down the dreamlike qualities supplied by the minor-major chords featured in the harmony, along with the everchanging rhythmic feel. The Jazz Imposters also take time to remember the legacy of Nica and her contribution to jazz music.
