The Davis Sextet made a tour of the western U.S. in April-May 1970. They played the Fillmore West on April 9-12 (opening for the Grateful Dead and Stone the Crows), and then the fourth annual University of California Jazz Festival at the Berkeley Greek Theatre, and the Both/And Club, San Francisco (April 28). After this Davis returned to New York for another period of intense studio activity -- five more dates in the period from May 17-June 4.
