“Original record by Everest. This release: made and printed in France, with uncredited liner notes in French only. Tracks A3, B2 & B4 have Newman - Fox as composer credits (for [a550273] and [a2061081]) but that's very likely wrong. [r4738182] has those tracks credited as improvisations. This other release has more info about musicians credits than here where we have: 1) Charlie Christian (guitar), Joe Guy (trumpet), Thelonious Monk (piano), Kenny Clarke (drums) and Nick Finton (bass) stated without mention of tracks 2) Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet), Don Byas (tenor sax), Kenny Kersey (piano) and the House Band at Monroe, also stated without mention of tracks First label cat. Nr on back cover, second on center labels. This version has no ' ℗ 1969' on center labels”

“Recorded at Minton's in Harlem in May 1941. These historic performances, though not of the highest sound quality, were deemed worthy of being digitally mastered on compact disc. A must for all serious collectors. Charlie's first name is misspelled on the cover, liner notes, disc and the tray artwork title of this release ('Charlie' is however spelt correctly within the tray artwork credits). This CD is housed in a jewel case with a single sheet insert, which is printed on both sides. Early 90's CD pressing.”
