Notes
Recorded in concert on Guam, January 17, 1952 & 1951.Bass on tracks 4, 5, 7-11 probably by Chris ...(unknown Philipino bass player)
Originally on REGENT MG-6001 (Jazz South Pacific with Pettiford) and HILO LP 6002 as "Jazz goes to the battlefront vol.2" (with Philipino bass player)
The Billboard p. 42: "Oscar Pettiford heads a jazz sextet which has begun a tour of Army camps fot the USO. The unit is known as the "Swingin' Jamboree" and along with Pettiford includes trumpeter Howard McGhee, tramist Jay Johnson, drummer Charlie Rice, tenorist Budd Johnson and guitarist Clifton Best."
The USO unit was put together by Pettiford. It debuted at shows in New Jersey and at Pine Camp in northern New York state. They went overseas on Nov. 3 after playing a number of USO dates at camps across the United States. Then they went to Korea, Japan, and Southern Pacific islands. However, this group encountered internal problems that resulted in Pettiford leaving the tour early to return to the United States. Cf. Ralph Gleason's article in Down Beat (February 22, 1952). - "It was cold like something else," Rice said of Korea. "We'd be playing for five minutes, and the guys' lips would freeze to the mouthpieces."
