Changes for John Coltrane's Naima. Original performance was on Coltrane's Giant Steps album in 1959. Coltrane played this frequently throughout the rest of his career. He played it fantastically on two live performances "Afro-Blue/Impressions" a recording on the Pablo label, and on "Live at the Village Vanguard Again" and Impulse recording. His friend Eric Dolphy did an amazing bass clarinet solo on Naima recorded on Coltrane's "Live in Stockholm 1961" on Affinity.
