This was recorded at the Festival International de Jazz. The two edited items issued on Decoy include a second trumpet part overdubbed after this performance. The indexes for several of the tracks are incorrect on CD #3 of the 2022 bootleg series set.

I am grateful to Jan Lohmann for help with this session.
