I saw the Mingus Big Band at UNLV when I was teaching in
Vegas a few years back. When I heard "II BS," I immediately
thought: "50s, soundtrack for some sort of drama." I can
definitely imagine it as the title theme for a period piece
from back then.
Also, speaking as a huge Davis fan who was unaware of this
soundtrack, I'd like to thank Jeff for bringing it to our
collective attention. Sounds as if he did it the same year he
did "Kind of Blue." Yowza!
All the Best-
