The Davis group played two shows at the Royal Festival Hall on this date. I'm not
sure which one this is. Jarrett plays only electric piano on the tunes listed above.
Jack De Johnette left the Davis Sextet late in the summer, and Davis hired Leon
Chancler as his replacement. The Sextet was booked for one night at the Saratoga
(NY) Performing Arts Center (September 19), and made an extensive European tour in October-November
