This music is listed on Session Disc and Jazz Masters as "Bwongo" (first two titles) and "Ananka" (last three titles). The Jazz Masters CD is clearly mastered from an LP. Both sources are quite a bit sharp (about a major 2nd), and the times listed above are from a pitch-corrected version.

The Sextet probably performed a standard set, but no more complete recordings of this concert have surfaced.

The Sextet (still with De Johnette) was booked at the Jazz Workshop, Boston (November 29-December 5), and the Gaslight Club, New York (December 15-19).
