This is Davis's first live date as a leader since the October Birdland broadcast.
His All-Star group was booked at Birdland for one week, May 1-7. Two nights were
broadcast on WJZ. Presumably there was more from this night, but so far this is
all that has surfaced.
On May 31 a "gala affair" took place at the Union Park Temple in Chicago, where
the "new king of the trumpet," Miles Davis, performed "with 2 bands." (No mention
of the personnel, unfortunately.) An All-Star group comprising J.J. Johnson, Milds
Davis [sic], Milt Jackson, Zoot Sims, Percy Heath, and Kenny Clarke, along with
Symphony Sid Torin, "New York's Greatest Disc Jockey," was booked for a week (June
30-July 6) at Cleveland's Ebony Club.
