In October of 1978 George Borgman was working for the Department of Justice in Washington, DC while living down in Maryland he would tune into a Washington, DC radio station and occasionally he'd record some of the jazz programs.

Here is what he recorded on Wednesday, October 25, 1978. He edited out some tunes and would save them on an alternate reel. This tape reel was titled "Jazz I Takeouts - Save!"

The first tune, Visitation, is taken from the Paul Chambers/John Coltrane LP "High Step" which was a compilation album released in 1975 by Blue Note. Visitation was recorded March 2, 1956 and featured, Paul Chambers on bass, Kenny Drew on piano and Philly Joe Jones on drums.
