Beryl Booker Quintet with Miles Davis - Birdland, 26th April, 1952



This short (12 minute) FM broadcast appeared on dime over the weekend (thanks to natefrawg), and I thought I'd share it here as it is very listenable and has a lot of music, despite average to poor sound - in fact, the sound very much adds to the atmosphere.
