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.

    month-long engagement (February 12-March 16) at the Royal Roost on Broadway.” – Credit to
