I'm unsure of the exact date of this recording. Davis was out of commission during September 1957 following surgery. Ken Vail has the Davis Quintet with Sonny Rollins, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Art Taylor at Café Bohemia for four weeks (August 31-September 27), but the first post-surgery engagement was apparently at Café Bohemia in mid-October (October 11-16), followed by a two-week stay at Birdland, (October 17-30). Many thanks to Chris DeVito for help with this date.

Sonny Rollins left the Quintet to form his own band, probably during Davis's recovery. Soon thereafter Davis fired Taylor and Garland. For replacements he found Bobby Jaspar, Jimmy Cobb, and Tommy Flanagan. Cobb soon left, to be replaced by Philly Joe Jones. These tunes, originally issued on an AFRS transcription, were probably recorded sometime during the two-week stay at Birdland.

According to Chris Sheridan, Cannonball Adderley replaced Jaspar in the Quintet in early October, and he was in place for the Café Bohemia and Birdland dates (see above). It's possible that Adderley replaced Jaspar during one of these engagements, but the saxophonist here is definitely Jaspar. Sheridan also claims that Adderley joined the Davis group for a one-night performance at Philadelphia's Convention Hall (October 19). The Davis Quintet (with Adderley), along with groups led by George Shearing, Gerry Mulligan, Chico Hamilton, and Helen Merrill, then participated in the "Jazz for Moderns" tour which lasted until late November. Some of the venues: Carnegie Hall, New York (Nov 2); Kiel Opera House, St. Louis (Nov 12); Kansas City Auditorium (Nov 13); Huff Gymnasium, Urbana-Champaign (Nov 14); Orchestra Hall, Chicago (Nov 15); Masonic Auditorium, Cleveland (Nov 16); Masonic Temple, Detroit (Nov 17); Carnegie Hall, New York (Nov 22); National Guard Armory, Washington (Nov 23).

Jan Lohmann lists two additional items, "Nature Boy" (4:26) and "A Night in Tunisia" (1:30, nc), but I have not heard these.

CD: Jazzman JM 11742; Jazz Birdies of Paradise J-Bop 042; Mega Disc no number

The two CD issues of this concert are confusingly different (probably due to variation in tape speed of the analog master tapes):

Jazzman JM 11742:
Agitation (first two notes missing), 5:32
Footprints, 9:45
'Round Midnight, 7:41
No Blues, 11:22
Riot + Applause (0:03), 3:33
On Green Dolphin Street, 8:09
Masqualero (first note missing), 8:55
Applause (0:03) + Gingerbread Boy, 6:05
The Theme + Applause (0:19), 1:19

Jazz Birdies of Paradise J-Bop 042:
Agitation (inc; fade in as theme ends), 5:41
Footprints, 10:28

Masqualero + Applause (0:03), 8:53
Gingerbread Boy, 6:15
The Theme + Applause (0:11), 1:05
The applause spliced in at the end is from a different show.

The Mega Disc CD-R:
is basically a copy of the Jazzman disc, though there are a few editing errors (repeated notes, wrongly-placed indexes, etc.).
