DAVIS, MILES & FORREST, JIMMY - Live At The Barrel (Sealed) (2LP)

Recorded in the spring of 1952 at the Barrel Club in St. Louis, this is an inspired Bop session of Davis and tenor sax player Jimmy Forrest (then at the peak of his career). A rare chance to hear Davis and Forrest playing together and joined here by the rhythm section of Charles Fox (piano) Johnny Mixon (bass) and Oscar Oldham (drums). A fine selection of standards including Gillespie's hot number Night in Tunisia and a bunch of classics tunes such as Perdido, All the things you are and Oh Lady Be good
