Several studio sessions scheduled in late October and early November had to be canceled because Davis had the flu.

According to the notes for Mosaic MQ11-164, "This was recorded in two segments and is edited for continuous play."

The Davis Quintet was booked for three weeks at Birdland (November 5-25), but presumably several of these dates were canceled on account of Davis' illness. The Quintet did perform at a "Jazz Dance" at St. Nicholas Arena on November 27. Coltrane, Kelly, Chambers, and Cobb were in Atlantic Studios on November 24 and December 2, recording titles that appeared on Coltrane Jazz. The Quintet (billed as "Miles Davis and His Famous Sextette") played a week-long engagement at Chicago's Regal Theatre (December 25-31).
