The issued version of "Sanctuary" is sparer and less keening than the one recorded
during the August 19 Bitches Brew
session. Two other complete takes were recorded during this session.
Roman numerals were added to "Sidecar I" and Sidecar II" when they were issued on
Circle in the Round in 1979. Like "Fun" recorded on
January 12, "Sidecar" proved
to be a difficult tune. On February 13 the group devoted more than 40 minutes to
the tune, which yielded only one complete take, which was rejected. The issued remakes
from this session are from another half hour of recording, most of which was spent
in rehearsal.
The next day, Davis, Hancock, Carter, and Williams joined Gil Evans in
Columbia's 30th Street Studio
to record Evans' "Falling Water."
After this the Quintet resumed touring: Village Gate, New York (February 16-17);
Bohemian Caverns, Washington (February 28-March 2: a review suggests that "Paul
Chambers has rejoined the quintet"); Village Gate (March 8-9). The Quintet (with
Marshall Hawkins subbing for Carter) headed west for two weeks at Shelly's Manne-Hole,
Los Angeles (March 19-31), and an engagement at the Both/And Club, San Francisco
(early April). During this time they also performed at the University of California
Jazz Festival at the Greek Theatre, Berkeley (April 19). They were joined on several
numbers by a variation on this version of the Evans Orchestra. The concert may have
been recorded by Columbia, but so far it has not surfaced. According to Jan Lohmann,
the Quintet performed "Agitation," "Footprints," "'Round Midnight," "Nefertiti,"
and "Gingerbread Boy," and were joined by the Evans Orchestra for three numbers:
an unknown title, "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman," and "Antigua." After
a return to New York, the Quintet played at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis (May
26).
