Recording Information

Track 5 recorded at the Pacific Jazz Festival, Cosa Mesa CA on October 10th, 1966*.
All others recorded at the Monterey Jazz Festival, Monterey CA on September 18th, 1966.

*: The Monterey CD booklet says "October 18th, 1966", but tracks from the same concert are used on Live in 3 2/3 4 Time, in which they are said to have been recorded on October 10th, 1966. This date is mentioned in several places, which makes me think the Monterey CD booklet has a misprint.
