"Stompin' for Mili".
This song was recorded for photographer Gjon Mili. Mili had agreed very reluctantly to film the Quartet at work, and the band felt "on pretty shaky ground" at the session. Their first attempt to record was, as a result, very tentative, and Mili's dismissive pronouncement after this "take" made Brubeck's "blood begin to boil". The resulting second "take", heard on the album, was an "expression of rage and frustration".

The piece was an improvisation on the chord progression to "Oh, Lady Be Good!"
