Incomplete on Yadeon 502 (first 0:48) and on Jazz Band EBCD 2101 (last 1:06). Voiceover 0:45-1:37. Guy Wallace: "That's the one... Miles Davis, Miles Davis and his horn, playing for you from the Caf? Bohemia, 15 Barrow Street in Greenwich Village, Jimmy Garifolo's home of modern jazz. How 'bout the personnel, Don, do you know who was with Miles tonight?" Don Cerulli: "We there's Miles of course on trumpet, and John Coltrane, the very distinctive-sounding tenor sax player, Bill Evans on piano, and if you heard in the last tune, that beautiful arco passage, you knew it was Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums." Wallace: "Thank you very much Don Cerulli, the New York editor of Downbeat, as I'm sure you gathered from that erudite, ah, discussion of who's at the Bohemia. Incidentally, if you wanna get down to the Bohemia some Sunday afternoon, it's a great place to go, wonderful place to go. They have a jazz concert section down there -- you just go in, pay your admission price, and that's all, you don't have to buy anything else."
