I have the CD with both sessions, one is a studio date, and the other one is live. Sorry to say right now I have most stuff sealed cause I move upstairs and have to wait to check out who´s on it, but if I remember well it´s the same group. They toured Sweden during that time, late 50´s I think 1958. The great swedish trumpet player Ericson is on it. I think it´s the only record of Tommy Potter under his own name. And quite late in his career, but he also did some tour dates with Bird-Memory groups feat. Howard McGhee, Sonny Stitt and sometimes J.J. Johnson plus Walter Bishop and Kenny Clark in the mid/late 60´s, also can be seen on a video tape of one concert. I always liked his bass playing. And on the rare occasions when he did a solo, it´s really fine. What really knocked me out is Tommy Potter´s ballad feature "Talk of the Town" on a ballad medley Bird,Dorham from "Bird at Cafe Society.......
