"This concert, a benefit for the African Research Foundation, was supposed to be recorded by Columbia, but at the last minute Davis apparently got cold feet. Teo Macero recorded it surreptitiously on a 3-3/4 ips monaural deck, and this is the master from which all Columbia LPs and CDs have been made. The performance was disrupted by a demonstration by Max Roach, who was opposed to the Foundation for not being militant enough. After leaving the stage (after an abbreviated solo on "Someday My Prince Will Come") Davis was persuaded to return, and he played the rest of the concert. I'm not sure why "Oleo" is incomplete -- it's probably due to a reel change." -- Peter Losin
