Miles Davis All Stars 1958-59

The last track on this record is "What Is This Thing Called Love?" It appears Miles does not play on this track. Does anyone know the details (personnel, date, etc)?

this is the entry from the gerry mulligan discography by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden

May 2009:

Art Ford Jazz Party TV Show, Newark, New Jersey, November 27, 1958

What Is This Thing Called Love?

(12:03) Jazz Band EB-418,EBCD 2101-2

Notes: This date was earlier titled Miles Davis All Stars, but the trumpet player is not

Miles Davis, but Art Farmer. Unfortunately it is almost impossible to identify the

other musicians. Miles Davis is mentioned at the end of the title in an

advertisment for a concert held November 29 at ’The Mosque Theatre’ in Newark

i have also this cd but never noticed the absend of miles.

I have the LP version (JazzBand EB409) of this and it does not include that No Miles section!
