Conception (George Shearing), 7. [band warming up], 8. Max Is Making Wax (Oscar Pettiford), 9. Ow! (Dizzy Gillespie). Performed live at Birdland, New York, June 30, 1950.
Personnel: Miles Davis, trumpet on all tracks; Fats Navarro, 2nd trumpet on 2, 3, 5, and 6; J. J. Johnson, trombone; Brew Moore, tenor sax; Tadd Dameron, piano on 1, 4, 5, 7-9; Walter Bishop Jr., piano on 2, 3, and 6; Curly Russell, bass; Art Blakey, drums. Track 1 is Miles Davis and rhythm section only. Charlie Parker (alto sax) plays a few notes at the end of track 6.
From the notes by Matías Rinar: "Jazz buff Boris Rose recorded dozens of programs from Birdland and the Royal Roost. … [This recording] can also be attributed to Rose with a certain degree of certainty. … The last three tracks of our CD, which probably were the first tunes of the jam session, have the worst sound quality and have therefore been placed at the end."
