Release Notes: An interesting set of circumstances led up to the release of this recording. To my knowledge, no other audio sources of this show have surfaced before today, however, according to some trading lists we’ve seen, there are two(!) audience-shot video tapes of this show.

Many thanks are owed to David Dyte (Get It On Productions) who made this tape available to Free Range Pigs for remastering and release. David’s story follows:

“I was visiting a friend who is more or less of an ex-Floyd fan. He still likes the music, but much prefers the Indie stuff nowadays. But in years gone by, it turns out he was quite a taper. He handed me a drawer full of assorted tapes to look through, mostly traded for, but a few of his own making. Lo and behold, here’s a tape of Pink Floyd at Madison Square Garden in 1987.”

“He said, ‘Did I do that? Wow! I forgot all about this. I’ll look for the master tape. It should be in another drawer with the rest.’ Well, he could not locate the box full of masters from his arena gig taping days, but this tape was made from the master immediately – the first and only time the master was played.”

Note:
Both Lohmann and Losin give this as an “audience recording,” but that is clearly not the case. A frequency analysis suggests a soundboard source and not an FM broadcast. This has been issued as a bootleg titled “Social Music,” however it is unclear whether this particular set, received on DAT, came from that bootleg release.

Mega-rare restored LP – speed-corrected and rejoined – featuring Don Elliot on vibes – great stuff!

Another great one from the Boris Rose collection. This album is bebop played at such breakneck speed that you need repeated listening just in order to figure out what’s being played. Jazzdisco.org does not indicate another release for this date, so with fingers crossed, here we go again!

I’ve been asked who Boris Rose is. Was actually (1918-2000, RIP). He was a die-hard fan, recorder and collector mainly known for priceless unreleased early live jazz which he either taped off the radio or got handed the acetates pre-air as they were going out. He managed to worm his way into every environment during bebop’s golden age. He was also a consummate bootlegger, producing hundreds of bootleg LPs during the 1960’s to 1970’s of mostly country and jazz concerts. He was widely known for what he did, but was mostly tolerated rather than prosecuted. Most of his recordings do not exist in any other form. It was said (but I can’t verify) that the records he produced from his acetates were done prior to their beginning to deteriorate, and that they are the best representation of what he made available to the public.

A bit of a scoundrel in relation to his recordings, to create confusion he deliberately spread some concerts over different record labels (ie most of the recording would be on the Alto label, but some would also be on the Ozone label. This even though there was plenty of room to include the whole thing on one disc) almost never indicating where and when they were recorded.

As of a couple of years ago, his widow still owned all (over 10,000) live recordings and was trying to sell the collection (now in very fragile condition) without success.

This recording is also sourced from acetate, and the first portion appears to have been taped from off the air. The second portion may or may not be pre-air, it sure sounds good though. The entire set required major speed correction. I had some trouble to identify the song titles as the cover and label are both wrong. I now believe this to be the correct order:

Notes:

d1t03 is cut at the beginning of the track
d2t04 is a short teaser of 52nd street theme
d2t07 is cut at he end of the track.
The quality is what you would expect from an audience recording from 1950. It is plauged
with static and distortion is definetly present, especially up to d1t03. It
improves on/after d1t03.There is another step up in quality on/after d1t06. The sound
on/after d1t06 is very pleasing.

“There is a lot of uncertainty about the dating of this music. The Miles Davis-Stan
Getz Sextet was booked at Birdland for a week in February (Feb 9-16), and some
broadcast recordings have been issued.” – Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/
“Davis’s own sextet, with Brew Moore replacing Getz and occasionally joined by
vocalist “Little” Jimmy Scott, remained at Birdland (opposite Ella Fitzgerald and the
Bud Powell Trio) through July 6th.” – Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/
“In the notes to the JMY CD, Enrico Merlin argues that these tunes are all from a
single night, June 30. Ken Vail (Miles’ Diary) claims that broadcast recordings were
made over several nights during this period:
- May 17 (Wed): Max is Making Wax; Chubby’s Blues; Conception/Deception
- May 18 (Thu): Hot House; 52nd Street Theme (Davis was in Columbia’s 30th Street
  Studios with Sarah Vaughan and the Jimmy Jones Octet for sessions on May 18 and 19.)
- May 20 (Sat): ‘Round Midnight; Embraceable You; Wee
- May 21 (Sun): Ow; For Now My Love [sic]; September in the Rain; Eronel; 52nd
  Street Theme
- May 29 (Mon): 52nd Street Theme
- May 30 (Tue): Wee; Chubby’s Blues
- June 30 (Fri): Hot House; Embraceable You; Eronel; 52nd Street Theme
  (Walter Bishop, Jr. replaces Tadd Dameron)

Vail’s source is probably Boris Rose’s “log,” which lists many of these tunes with the
titles under which they were first issued — “Poobah,” “Moo,” “Mile’s Midnight Breakaway,”” “Overturia,” “Rambunctious Rambling,” etc.

“A second trumpet is audible on several tunes — “Hot House,” “Conception/Deception,”
“Eronel,” and the long “52nd Street Theme” — and this is usually identified as Fats
Navarro, who died of tuberculosis on July 7. He’s in sad shape here, and seems especially
lost on “Conception/Deception.”” – Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/
“”In favor of the June 30 date, however unlikely it may seem given Navarro’s death on
July 7, Dan Morgenstern writes in the Columbia liner notes that “Ira Gitler, who saw
Fats at Birdland in 1950, recalls him as a shrunken, pitiful figure, racked by coughing
and playing feebly. But available clues have been checked and rechecked, and June 30 is
the date that comes up.” On the other hand, writing about some other recordings of Navarro,
Gitler remarked, “I question the May 1950 dating of records made of his broadcasts from
CafÈ Society… His playing seems… too alive for the man who would be dead of
tuberculosis on July 7″ (Jazz Masters of the Forties, p. 101.” – Credit to Peter Losin,
