A double CD of the pianist George Wallington’s Quintet featuring Donald Byrd & Jackie Mclean, with Paul Chambers, bass, and Art Taylor, drums - recorded live in New York, September 9, 1955., and originally released as the famous “Live At The Café Bohemia”. The complete concert, including 8 alternate takes, is here released for the first time ever on one set. These ‘alternates’ had often been erroneously issued as masters over the years.

As a further rare bonus, on the second disc Lonehill have added the complete LP “George Wallington: Showcase” featuring Jimmy Cleveland, Oscar Pettiford and Kenny Clarke - with Dave Burns (tp), Frank Foster (ts) and Danny Bank (bs, fl), with arrangements by Quincy Jones - recorded in New York, May 12, 1954.Eight tracks on this set appear on CD for the first time ever.
