Hearing it against The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings - Porgy & Bess [Disc 2] matters because it reads like part of an album world, not a detached single. Fishermen, Strawberry And Devil Crab by Miles Davis & Gil Evans off The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings - Porgy & Bess [Disc 2] (1959) works when the set needs collective motion and color instead of blunt force.
