Please Note:  The album's original release featured edited versions of six of the nine compositions. For these tracks, from one to three minutes of the performances were removed, either to meet the playing time constraints of the LP format or because producer Teo Macero felt the pieces were more effective in edited form. The tracks on this release are based on the edited versions that were on the original release.
