Background
Live on the Air consists of a live performance recorded on February 6, 1974 (two years to the day before Guaraldi's premature death), at Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco, California. The performance was broadcast live by radio stations KPFA and KPFB. Tracks 1–8 were performed for the original broadcast. The sound engineer then advised Guaraldi and his trio to "play until your heart's content" (Track 9), resulting in three additional songs performed for the studio audience.[2]
