Donor notes: Dave Burrell written in different hand from BA and PW. Perhaps connected to T0119? Two different items? Info about an Eddie Heath recording written and crossed out.;Ear confirms Dave Burrell rehearsal and performance w/ JCOA. Lots of Grac han Moncur features. Begins with orchestra tuning up. Heavy buzz on tape here. Brought down 125 Hz to eliminate.;Last part of tape appears to be a run-through of the entire set, in order. Killer.;Distortion near end is on tape. Like overloaded upon recording. Shame, because it is GREAT stuff.;Audience Applause after set. Maybe quick rehearsal right before the performance?;Can hear audience milling around after performance. No conversations audible. Someone goes up and starts playing drums.
Performance Location: Public Theater, 425 Lafayette Street, New York NY
