℗&© 1993 Capitol Records, Inc.

Recorded live at The Five Spot, New York City, late summer 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.
