C&A:

This is the complete take of the tune with no name which apparently was unacceptable for release.  The tune changes keys three times:  the initial theme and 12-bar vibes solo are in A♭, followed by Charles’ solo and a clarinet solo in D♭ for 12 bars each, then a repeat of the theme – this time just 16 bars in the key of D – which segues into C for a brief interlude by Charles and then out with 12 more bars.

CC’s solo on the complete take is not quite as good as on the breakdown take.
