  3. Whoever recorded the Apartment Sessions omitted all solos except Bird's, so on "All the Things" he may have come back for a second solo after (an)other soloist(s).

  6. Yes, it's from the Apartment sessions - and I still can hear the splice. Sensational playing, though!!!

  8. Incidentally, the wealth of live recordings now available to us shows that Bird didn't choose to play very long solos. His art was based on the perfectly constructed solo - beginning, development and end - and little would have been gained (in fact, there might have been loss) by doubling or trebling the length of his solos. When we get to Coltrane, of course things are different.

  10. Yes, there were some very long solos on Apartment Sessions, but I also recall what sounded like splices. (I too no longer have access to that stunning album.)
