This is my LP copy I bought in 1978.

I remember I was a bit disappointed since I thought it will be an encounter between Roy Eldridge and Fats Navarro.

But not to forget the great side A too with Roy Eldridge playing "Ornothology" in the outing of How High the Moon. 

And I must laugh now if I think how strange the title "High On An Open Mike" sounded to me. 

Then I didn´t know what that means , I translated it into "Hoch auf einem offenen Michael".....which is worse than a google translation would be now ...

On "Sweet Georgia Brown" I always would have liked to know if it is the voice of Fats Navarro who announces Buddy Rich when Buddy starts his drum solo. It´s reported that Fats Navarro had a high pitched voice and that sounds like if maybe it is Fats announcing Buddy.

Thanks for that "nice translation". Had to smile a bit.

But this tune "high on an open mike" is one of my favorite bebop tunes with Charlie Ventura  on his GNPS Cat # 1 concert LP  I have with a super group featuring

 Ventura, Candoli, Boots Mussulli, Benny Green, Roy Kral (p & voc), Jakie Cain (voc) ,Kenny O' Brian (b) & Ed Shaugnessy (dr). The complete 1949 concert was issued IMO  on 2 vinyls GNP 1 & MCA Coral PCO 7183

Interesting box. Wish I had acquired the cds that were available for a minute.

Yeah, it would be convenient to have this music in a digital format.   But the LPs sound damn good, so I'd probably keep the vinyl even if I had the CDs. :P 

BTW, the second disc from The Essential Collection, 1927-1962 compiles some outstanding cuts from the 1947-52 period.  I ripped that disc to high bitrate MP3s and always have those files on my phone for on-the-go listening.

I love Duke's music from this '47-'52 era -- so having this "sampler" is better than nothing.  I queue it up quite a bit.  :g

Sonny Rollins plays for Bird is quite interesting. It´s not trying to copy Bird, but a very individual thing, mostly standards that Bird played , not originals (with the exception of "My Little Suede Shows).
