An invited studio audience was present.

3268 known as "Western Suite."

Mosaic boxed set lists 3271 as "Free" - confirmation needed that this is a collective improvisation, but this may not be possible since Mosaic notes: masters no longer exist for unissued selections. Which instruments Giuffre used for unissued selections is also not known.

Mosaic does not list final selection, included in Lord. Composer needs confirmation. Details assumed based on July 4, 1958 Newport performance.
