These ten tracks, taken from radio broadcasts from the legendary Birdland in 1951, represent a particularly fruitful period in Miles Davis' development as a bandleader. There are three different broadcasts included here; two comprising six cuts in total were from June and September and have been issued in various forms on bootlegs over the decades. Four cuts, however, taken from a broadcast on February 17, have never been available in any form and it is these as well the marginally better fidelity of the entire set that makes this worth owning for Miles freaks -- and only Miles freaks.

Поздравляю с самым мужским праздником Вас , друзья!
Так уж случилось, что отмечаем мы его в разных странах,
и называется он теперь тоже у всех по разному.
Тем не менее мы все помним о нем, и о том времени когда мы
были единым пространством на географической карте.
Желаю Вам, мужики, всего самого лучшего в этой жизни!
