Specifically the Master Takes, recorded November 2-3 1961 and released separately on 'Live at the Village Vanguard' (1962) and 'Impressions' (1963):
1. Spiritual
2. Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise
3. Chasin' the Trane
4. India
5. Impressions
I prefer to listen to these takes as a single album, free of the unrelated studio accompaniments on 'Impressions'. The reason I include the whole compilation is so that it might stand for the quality of the music the quintet was producing during this era, poorly represented at the time across too many records.
