Lineage: Boot LP Oberon 5100 "Trane's First Ride 1951" > Sony PS-LX250H > Yamaha RX-396 > Zoom H2 (line-in) >
WAV > WavePad Sound Editor (tracking) > Trader's Little Helper (FLAC 8, align on sector boundaries)

Sound Quality: B/B+

In all tracks there were clicks (from 5 to 10 per track)
in track 2 - 3 and 7 there was also a kind of hiss (like that of good old lps)
now the sound is pretty much cleaner !!

Typical of many jazz bootleg LPs, this one contains no dates nor any information beyond song titles
and the year of 1951 (despite having a long liner essay by one "E.S.Spoe"). After a good bit of research
(and matching some of it with my recollections from countless hours of listening to the pedantic, yet
informative Phil Schaap on Bird Flight here in New York City weekday mornings on WKCR), I have come up
with the following probable list of dates and line-ups. The venue is always Birldand.


Tracks 01, 02, 03
1951-January-6
Dizzy Gillespie Sextet
Dizzy Gillespie, trumpet
John Coltrane, tenor
Milt Jackson, vibraphone
Billy Taylor, piano
Percey Heath, bass
Art Blakey, drums

Track 05
1951-January-13
Dizzy Gillespie Sextet

Tracks 04, 06, 08
1951-February-3
Dizzy Gillespie Septet
same as above, add J.J. Johnson, trombone

Track 07
1951-March-17
Dizzy Gillespie Septet
same as above, but changes: John Lewis, piano; Carl "Kansas" Fields, drums
