March 1st.  Recorded on this date:

1963, Jackie McLean 5 featuring Grachan Moncur III - ONE STEP BEYOND

(Blue Note):

d235706k5i3.jpg

Marty , is this another sleevenote error?

The select set has-

(A) Jackie McLean, alto saxophone; Grachan Moncur III, trombone; Bobby Hutcherson, vibes; Eddie Kahn, bass; Tony Williams, drums.

Recorded on April 30, 1963.

Originally issued as ONE STEP BEYOND by Jackie McLean (Blue Note BST 84137). The alternate take of "Saturday And Sunday" was originally issued on the CD version of the album (CDP 7-46821-2)

Mea culpa. The Jackie McLean discography available online confirms the April 30th date. My old Blue Note LP has the April 30th date that I pasted on it some 30+ years ago when I acquired it, however the problem is that my CD copy (Blue Note CDP7 46821 2) lists an erroneous March 1st recording date. Since I consult my CD database for recording dates when posting here, that's how the error occurred.
