• Two previously unreleased 1960s performances by Don Cherry in quintet format. The first show was recorded in Denmark in 1963 (but a different date that the release on Storyville) and showcases the New York Contemporary Five, featuring Cherry with Archie Shepp, John Tchicai, Don Moore and J.C. Moses.

• In fact, none of the New York Contemporary Five members were New York natives. Don Cherry was born in Oklahoma City in1936; John Tchicai (born in 1936) is Danish, but he moved to New York in 1963; Don Moore was born in Philadelphia in 1938, Archie Shepp was born in Florida in 1937, and J.C. Moses was born in Pittsburgh in 1936 (Moses passed away in 1977).

• After these Copenhagen sessions, Cherry and Shepp wouldn’t record together again until 1983. The bonus second session, in Holland, presents the trumpeter in another quintet setting with Argentinean saxophonist Gato Barbieri.

• Personnel : Don Cherry trumpet, on all tracks, with (Denmark) : Archie Shepp tenor sax; John Tchicai alto sax; Don Moore bass; J. C. Moses drums - Radiohusets Koncertsal, Copenhagen, October 27, 1963. (Holland) : Leandro “Gato” Barbieri tenor sax; Karl Berger piano & vibes; Bo Stief, bass; Aldo Romano, drums - Hilversum, Holland, May 9, 1966. Total Time: 60:49 - 5 tracks - Includes 8-page booklet.
