    Bud Powell Trio, Sarah Vaughan, the Lennie Tristano Sextet, the Stan Getz-Kai Winding
    group, and the Charlie Parker Quintet for a Christmas Eve late-night concert.

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.
    ” – Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/
  • “At this time Davis was a member of the Tadd Dameron Tentet, in the midst of a
    month-long engagement (February 12-March 16) at the Royal Roost on Broadway.” – Credit to

Notes:

  • This was also released as LL24. The levels are a bit brighter on Peter’s version
    and the last trac “How High The Moon” was totally missing on LL24. This is a clear cut
    upgrade in my opinion.
  • d1t08 fades out mid song.
  • The sound is good, there is a slight amount of hiss present.
  • “This is a subset of an Oscar Pettiford-led All-Star group booked for three weeks
    (January 5-24) at the Clique Club on Broadway.” – Credit to Peter Losin,

Notes:

  • A very good recording for this period with only some light hiss and sparing crackle
    mostly noticeable during announcements and between audio portions. The dynamic range is somewhat compressed. The tracks run continuously from beginning to end. Last track cuts off on
    announcerís outro.
  • Peter Losin notes,
    “The first of the weekly broadcasts of the Parker Quintet from the Royal Roost. Parker
    began a four-month engagement at the Royal Roost on December 9; the gig ran
    through March 12, 1949, though as it turned out, Davis didn’t stay long.”

Kenny Dorham replaced Miles Davis on trumpet in Charlie Parker’s Quintet starting with the
December 25, 1948 Royal Roost show and throughout the remainder of the Quintet’s Royal Roost run.
However, Miles was to reappear at the Royal Roost in early 1949 as part of Tadd Dameron’s
Big Ten line-up.
