Note:

The date of these items is a mystery. They are sometimes included with the Redcross acetates from February,
but it seems unlikely that Parker would play tenor on all those numbers and then alto when playing along with records.
(He plays tenor only on "Embraceable You.") The Hazel Scott record was recorded in February 1942, and the Goodman sides in
April 1936 and July 1937, so they don't really help to fix the date. "Unknown 1943" may be the best I can do.
