Uploaded on Dime in 2005. Only 7 minutes long and not in excellent sound quality, but a fascinating glimpse of the lyrical side of the Quartet. According to the CT-Sessionography there should be another part of about 10 minutes (see below). The track here is labelled as 'Fragments', probably because the music during the European 1969-tour was referred to as 'Fragments of a Dedication to Duke Ellington'. Interestingly, this snippet is an improvisation on the Burke/Haggard song 'What's New?', which could already be heard in the brilliant 'Live at the Cafe Montmartre' performance (1962) - one of the differences being that there the saxophone started the theme instead of the piano.

Thanks to the original taper/seeder. No artwork included (as I presume nobody will burn a CD with only 7 minutes of music).
