This set was broadcast live on WBCN-FM radio. The closing announcement mentions
that the Davis Nonet is at Paul's Mall "for the rest of the weekend" -- probably
from Thursday the 14th through the following Sunday, the 17th. Another set, probably
from a different night, was recorded by someone in the audience and is sonically
inferior. See the listing for
September 15-17, 1972 for details.
A Super Sonic CDR wrongly lists this music as recorded "live at the Quaker Jazz
Festival, Philadelphia, NJ / September 24, 1972." In addition, the track indexes
are wrong:
- Black Satin (9:31)
- Rated X (15:13)
- Honky Tonk (9:34)
- Right Off (11:45)
The Luxury CD is subtitled "WBCN Broadcast New Master" and the sound is improved
over other issues. The indexes are placed incorrectly, however:
- Black Satin (9:25)
- Rated X (14:42)
- Honky Tonk (6:46)
- Right Off (inc) (14:15)
"Chieftain" was first recorded in the studio on
August 23. It is commonly performed in a
medley with "Rated X" during this period. The transition occurs when Henderson begins
the distinctive (and insistent) el-b ammp. I am grateful to Jim Szabo for discussion of these tunes.
The Davis Nonet was busy during this period: Paul's Mall, Boston (September 14-17);
Spectrum, Philadelphia (September 23); Lincoln Center, New York (September 29);
Stanford University Amphitheater, Palo Alto (October 1); Civic Theatre, San Diego
(October 8).
