With all due respect, while I appreciate the most recent efforts to expand the article, I would have to say they've borne some strange fruit indeed. The composition is barely discussed here, bypassed almost entirely in favor of one particular recording, albeit the most famous one. "Pensativa" is, after all, a Clare Fischer composition, though one would be hard pressed to remember that after the first sentence, what with the article as now constituted. Moreover, the categories themselves are similarly skewed. This is not a 1964 song; it was written - or, at least, first recorded - in 1962 (Fischer himself had three versions recorded and in the stores before Blakey & Co. ever hit the studio). Similarly, the composition itself is not a "hard bop jazz standard," but rather a bossa nova jazz standard. And while I'm not exactly sure why the key in which a given arrangement is written should be of particular interest in any case, in this case, the value of such information is compromised further still by the simple fact that G♭, the key 'chosen' by Hubbard, is the same key in which the tune was written. I could go on, but that's probably time better spent trying to fix this.DavidESpeed (talk) 10:27, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi thanks for improving the article - however you have introduced a copyright violation by adding the lyrics. I am removing them without reverting your other changes. However if you wish you can add a short quote from the lyrics. BO | Talk 14:44, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Erroneous Bill Harris Quintet Link

The link goes to the deceased Bill Harris' web page instead of to one for the very-much-alive Bill Harris Quintet.
