Davis toys with the theme of "Funk" (aka "Prelude, Part 1") throughout "Right Off."
It was evolving from "Right Off" during this period. It followed "Right Off" in
many concerts from late 1973 to early 1974; by May 1974 it appears by itself, and
was is a standard set-opener from late 1974 through the summer of 1975. "Untitled
Original 730424c" is labeled as such to identify the date on which it is first documented.
In the mid-1970s there are several tunes that are performed live but never brought
into the studio, and several tunes recorded during studio sessions but never considered
for release. In both cases the tunes were never given titles.
There are two different Nippon Broadcasting Co. TV presentations of this music.
The first contains no interruptions and includes "Turnaroundphrase" (missing the
first two beats, 12:55), "Tune in 5" (10:02), and "Right Off" (inc, 9:03). The second
contains an introduction (0:49), "Turnaroundphrase" (12:58), the first 2:33 of "Tune
in 5", a series of commentaries and interviews with occasional musical fragments
(including "Stella by Starlight"!) (5:16), the last 8:10 of "Right Off", and a concluding
announcement (0:08).
Lonnie Smith, Khalil Balakrishna, and Badal Roy left in May, and Davis took over
the keyboard duties himself. The new Davis Septet embarked on a tour of Japan in
June, and Europe in July. The itinerary for the Japanese tour was as follows:
June 16 (Sat): Sapporo Koseinenkinkaikan Hall (6:30 pm)
June 19 (Tue): Tokyo Koseinenkinkaikan Hall (7:00 pm)
June 20 (Wed): Tokyo Koseinenkinkaikan Hall (7:00 pm)
June 22 (Fri): Tokyo Koseinenkinkaikan Hall (7:00 pm)
June 23 (Sat): Nagoya Shiminkaikan (Nagoya civic auditorium) (6:30 pm)
June 25 (Mon): Kyoto Hall (6:30 pm)
June 28 (Thu): Fukuoka Shiminkaikan (Fukuoka civic auditorium) (6:30 pm)
June 29 (Fri): Hiroshima Yubin-Chokin Hall (6:30 pm)

Thanks to Eric Jooris for providing me with a copy of the concert program, and to
