This Piece Was Meant To Contrast The Excitement Of "Stompin' For Mili." Brubeck Recalls The Recording Of The Piece In A 1955 Letter " 'I Would Like ' Said Gjon Mili Closing His Eyes And Raising His Hand Expressively 'I Would Like To See Audrey Hepburn Come Walking Through The Woods.' 'Gee ' Said Paul Wistfully 'So Would I.' 'One ' I Said Noticing The Glazed Expression About Paul's Eyes 'two Three Four'. And We Played It. Hence The Title." The Piece Is A 12-Bar Blues In The Key Of B-Flat Minor However The Melody Of "Balcony Rock " An Improvised Blues In B-Flat Major Recorded On Jazz Goes To College Is Used To Conclude "Audrey." There Is An "alternate Take " Released As "Makin' Time " That Is Rarely Heard. It Was Released On A Columbia Compilation LP Called I Like Jazz! Around 1955.

This piece was meant to contrast the excitement of "Stompin' For Mili." Brubeck recalls the recording of the piece in a 1955 letter:" 'I would like,' said Gjon [Mili], closing his eyes and raising his hand expressively, 'I would like to see Audrey Hepburn come walking through the woods.' 'Gee,' said Paul wistfully, 'So would I.' 'One,' I said, noticing the glazed expression about Paul's eyes 'two, three, four'. And we played it. Hence, the title."
The piece is a 12-bar blues in the key of B-flat minor; however, the melody of "Balcony Rock," an improvised blues in B-flat Major, recorded on Jazz Goes to College, is used to conclude "Audrey."
