This is the last of three Capitol studio sessions with the Davis Nonet, which had
long since stopped working as a regular group. (There may have been a few rehearsals
at Birdland in mid-February, but it had been many months since the Nonet's last
recording session.) Perhaps the group would have been recorded earlier if the American
Federation of Musicians recording ban had not been in effect.
Capitol Records did not have its own recording studio in New York, and WMGM's studios
were used for many Capitol jazz sessions in the 1940s. In 1952 WMGM bought an interest
in Fine Sound, and on October 10, 1953 Billboard reported that "Fine Sound
Takes Over N.Y. Studios." Henceforth the studios would be known as Fine Sound Studios,
and many memorable sessions for Verve and other jazz labels were recorded there.
It is possible that this session took place on March 8 (Wednesday) rather than March
9.
I am grateful to Leif Bo Petersen for help with this session.
