-------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

- d1t07 has some very heavy low end distortion present.

- Decent sound. some hiss/crackle present intermittently, heavy at timers, and the low end
suffers from a little distortion, but it's still very listenable. This is a nice piece
that showcases Miles's playing for the period very well. The "It Could Happen To you"
is one of the highlights for this show.

- Thanks to Peter Losin for the source!

- "Davis had been away from New York for several months, in the Midwest trying to cure
his heroin habit. He returned in April and joined the Beryl Booker group for two nights
broadcast on WJZ. Perhaps on the strengths of this gig, Davis was offered a one-week
engagement at Birdland, May 1-7."- Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/
