Note:

Recorded at Radio Station KFBI, by Bud Gould, a station musician
The seven tunes recorded by McShann at KFBI Studio are often listed together on November 30, but a hand-written track sheet shows that two tunes are from
November 30 and the remainder from December 2. The same archive has a great photo of the McShann group with a very young Charlie Parker.
