The Davis group was booked for five nights at the Bottom Line, June 10-14 (Tuesday-Saturday), and
they apparently played two two-set shows (8:30 and 11:00 pm) each night. These are
the two sets from the 8:30 pm concert. No sign of the 11:00 pm show, unfortunately.
The version this music issued on Jazz Masters is about a half-step flat throughout.
Timings above are from a speed-corrected recording.
"Untitled original 750505" was first recorded in the studio on May 5. It was a standard
set closer during May-July 1975. Davis occasionally plays organ during this tune.
Davis suffered from serious health problems (hips, ulcers, drug use) throughout
the summer, but the Septet continued to tour: Paul's Mall, Boston (April 28-May
3); Just Jazz, Philadelphia (May 12-17); Oakland University, Rochester MI (May 24);
Bottom Line Club, New York (June 10-14); Avery Fisher Hall, New York (July 1); Central
Park, New York (September 5).
Thanks to Larry Crawford for alerting me to the correct dates (five nights rather than only three)
for this engagement.
