NOTES TO SESSIONS:
# 3-5 to 3-12: Back Home Again In Indiana appeared on Columbia CL 1077 but without the bass solo which is being released here for the first time. Some discographies state that Muskrat Ramble is from either a Milan Concert of December 19, 1955, a studio session in Milan right after the concert, or the Los Angeles studio session of January 24, 1956 (even it possesses an RHCO matrix number). Refer to the liner notes for more details.
***
# 7-1 to 7-6: On Columbia CL 931 two other titles are shown as being from this concert but they are other from locations (Indiana from the Medina Concert and Mack The Knife, which is a composite from an unused September 28, 1955 studio session take and the July 14, 1956 Lewisohn rehearsal performance).
***
# 7-7 to 7-16: Two run-throughs of St. Louis Blues are also from this rehearsal but are not included in this set. The issued take of Way Down Yonder In New Orleans of the Columbia CD CK 47916 was released without the bass solo. The issued take of Mahogany Hall Stomp was edited on the Columbia LP CL 1077.
***
# 8-1 to 8-17: On Columbia CL 931 two other titles are shown as being from this concert but they are from other locations (Indiana from the Medina Concert and Mack THe Knife, which is a composite from an unused September 28, 1955 studio session take and the July 14, 1956 Lewinsohn rehersal performance).
