Note
This recording was originally mislabeled as being from Cleary's set later that evening at the Maple Leaf. However, the stage emcee clearly identifies this as Jazzfest.
Although this performance was broadcast live on WWOZ, this is a soundboard source and is not from the broadcast (except for the splice, as noted below).
There was a cut or break in the recording between When You Get Back and Moonburn - presumably due to the cassette flip. A few seconds of dialogue between songs was missing. This was restored using a 30-second splice from the WWOZ-FM broadcast. (The last 30 seconds of When You Get Back is from the FM source.)
