Although the tunes performed (especially "Jumpin' with Symphony Sid," "Ray's Idea,"
and "Wee Dot") might suggest an earlier date, the customary date for this set is
pretty close to correct. Davis was booked as a single at the Hi-Hat Club for two
consecutive weeks in February 1955, joined by Boston locals Migliori, Walcott, Woode,
and Zitano. According to Down Beat (March 23, 1955), a Davis engagement
advertised in Detroit for February 11-13 had to be canceled "because of a prior
commitment in Boston... Davis was held over at the Hi-Hat for an extra week to share
the stand with an R & B group called The Chords". My guess is that the Hi-Hat engagement
began in early February. (Thanks to Chris DeVito for help with this date.)
"Jumpin' with Symphony Sid," performed here at a very slow tempo, is clearly a
set-closer, and the music may be from more than one night.
