from In Paris Festival International De Jazz, May 1949.

Early Miles -- 23-years-old.

His solo begins with some cool, but disjointed, phrases; gradually he gets into it, and settles into a boppish 1/8th-note groove, with Clarke kicking along.

Dameron's solo is full of block chords, and the young Moody plays conservatively.
