Disc 1 & 2 of 2.  The performance preserved here was recorded in Basel in Dec. of 2000.  I caught the performers on tour in San Francisco about a month or so later (minus Candy Dulfer, who does play here).  It was  a really good show, the high point being a  medley of early rock hits like "Shake, Rattle and Roll" and "Roll Over Beethoven" that really captured how exciting and fresh the music must have seemed way back then.  Ms. Lewis plays "Killer" style piano not unlike her more famous bother.

These are the last sides recorded by John Kirby as a leader.  According to the liner notes, he managed to keep his group going until 1950 and then passed away in 1952 at the early age of 43!  The sextet accompanied Sarah Vaughan on 4 of the tracks included here.
