In the same year, the album fell into the hands of trumpeter Miles Davis, who invited Horn to perform with him at the Village Vanguard jazz club, setting the club's management a condition: either he would perform with Horn, or he would not at all. After the performance, Horn was noticed and offered to sign a contract by representatives of Mercury Records.
