Ozone was one of Boris Rose's labels.

The Basie big band listing for the broadcast from the Royal Roost is correct but it's Singleton Palmer on bass (not Wright).

The Basie sextet lineup (for the last four tracks on side B) is: Clark Terry, Buck Clayton, Marshall Royal, Wardell Gray, Basie, Freddie Green, Jimmy Lewis, Gus Johnson. Broadcast from Birdland.

According to the Basie chapter in Walter Bruyninckx' discography, the sextet tracks come from a broadcast on 28 April 1951.

"The Golden Bullet" is announced incorrectly - it is actually "Bluebeard Blues". Buck Clayton is on Lady Be Good and Golden Bullet/Bluebeard Blues only.

I have these tracks on Moon CD076-2 released under Wardell Gray's name (that also includes "Out of Nowhere" from the Tradewinds jam on 24 March 1952 that was mentioned here when you asked about the you asked about those "Jam Session" LP's.
