'So Long Eric' (23:21/27:10) on Musidisc (mistitled 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat'), which features Coles, is actually an edited version from Salle Wagram and it fades in the end of Dolphy's alto sax solo before Richmond's drum solo.
A.T.F.W. (YOU USA) is a piano solo by Jaki Byard
'Sophisticated Lady' is a duet featuring Byard and Mingus
Johnny Coles did not play in this concert, although liner notes from early releases indicate otherwise. His trumpet was placed in a chair onstage during the concert.
