The index for "Unknown 730424c" is about 0:03 too early on Warner and Columbia, and the titles are wrongly indexed on LFYE 002:

  1. Ife (25:02)
  2. Calypso Frelimo (13:49)

The Davis Septet finished a Japanese tour at the end of June. After performing at the Hampton Jazz Festival (July 1), the Septet immediately began a two-week tour of European festivals. The itinerary was as follows:

July 6: Temple of Jupiter, Baalbeck
July 8: Montreux Jazz Festival
July 10: Rainbow Theatre, London
July 11: Olympia Theatre, Paris
July 16: Parco delle Naiadi, Pescara
July 17: Teatro Romano, Verona
July 20: La Pinède, Juan-les-Pins

There are probably other performances as well, but I have not found ads or reviews.
