Notes:
- d1t08 is incomplete.
- The sound is a little muffled and distant, with some light static. Still listenable.
Pretty good considering the origin was a TV broadcast from 58 years ago. d1t08 was
definetely the cake taker in this performance. - This is a very interesting recording, a real good example of the period, splitting
at the seams with short cameo’s from some real legends. - I believe the TLH reading below shows lossy due to the fact that this was an early
television broadcast and the wave lengths are severly limited. I don’t believe that MP3’s
were a factor. - “Recorded for the WCBS-TV show Adventures in Jazz. Davis plays only on the “Big Foot”
jam, a bop-vs.-Dixieland duel with Kaminsky. His range is impressive here, just as it
is on the recordings a couple months later from the Paris Festival International de Jazz.
