This session was cut in Chicago while all the above were sidemen working with Miles Davis’ group at the Sutherland Hotel in 1959!

This epochal jazz session was recorded in February, 1959, at universal Recording’s Studio B, Chicago, with Bernie Clapper, president of the firm, at the audio controls. In order to achieve the epitome in cohesive sound and coordination, the group was set up very tight, the way they worked in personal engagements. Microphone sets were worked out to make for the most possible directivity of sound with very little crossover, because this is fundamentally a session which featured solos by these outstanding progressive jazzmen.
