Notes

Recorded September 2-5, 1975
Track B3 based on Debussy's "Reverie"
George Duke appears courtesy of MPS Records/BASF.

"The song title "Newkleus" is a pun reflecting Sonny Rollin's nickname (dating back to the 1950s) of "Newk". It serves to demonstrate that fame is even more fleeting for professional athletes than for musicians - how many knew that the reference is to Sonny's striking facial resemblance to one-time Brooklyn Dodgers pitching star Don Newcombe?" (Quote from back cover)
