Recorded live at the Five Spot, New York late summer of 1957.
Note: This recording was made on a portable tape recorder with a single microphone. The sound and balance are not optimum and there are sporadic mechanical and electrical noises. The actual order of performance is as presented here, except that "Crepuscule With Nellie" opened the set. Part of the closing theme of "Epistrophy" is missing because that portion of the tape was recorded over at a later date. At that point on the Compact Disc, the music fades down and then up again.

CD case, front cover and the rear inlay are all in very good condition, no personal writing writing at all.
CD media is in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see just NO marks or scratches on the media at all. Just looking at the disc is not a great way to judge the condition so I then played the ENTIRE release, every track, and there are no issues with playback at all
TRACKS: Trinkle Tinkle, In Walked Bud, I Mean You, Epistrophy, Crepuscule With Nellie
