--The title theme was picked up by Miles Davis in 1958 and became a jazz standard overnight as well as remaining in Miles' repetoire for seven years.
To nitpick a little bit - last time Miles was recorded playing this tune was in 1969.
Also, it was a standard some years before he first recorded it.
My suspicion is that he picked up on it from listening to Ahmad Jamal and more probably from his sideman on that date, Bill Evans, who recorded it in 56 on his Jazz Showcase album.
