From the liner notes of the 1977 Atlantic album Three or Four Shades of Blues

Section titles for Three Or Four Shades Of Blues:
1. No sub dom Mingus Blues, two choruses trumpet, Tadd Dameron turn around
2. Old Ellington two-chord Blues, C Major to B-flat 7th, no other chords, however one must be hip to Duke's lines to solo on these two changes
3. Afro-Cuban, Puerto Rican basic root structure, with East Indian melodic overtone blues lines
4. Bob Neloms temp solo; Caucasian folk blues, Jimmy Rowles piano
5. An Ellington form basic blues structure, hopefully Ellington solo lines on top
6. Count Basie-Walter Page Kansas City bass walking blues
7. Back to Duke – and Blanton
8. Super Bebop Blues (Check Bird Out) with George Coleman and the dudes who are advancing group improvisation, while USA press ignores them
9. Back to super bebop line
10. Then to Mingus, no sub dom, bottom blues line
11. Then recession, recapitulation, with white folk blues left hanging
