Note: Original acetates by Bob Redcross. Parker plays Tenor saxophone.

These titles are probably not all from the same date. Koster places "Body and Soul" and "Shoe Shine Boy" on February
28 at an unknown venue, "Boogie Woogie" and "Three Guesses" on the same day at the Savoy Hotel, and remaining titles
on an unknown date at the Savoy Hotel. "Indiana" is the first recording of Parker and Gillespie together.
Gillespie begins by playing the theme, then Parker solos, Gillespie solos (first side ends); the performance picks up in the
middle of another Parker solo, then Gillespie plays a very modern solo, ending with a closing tag together with Parker.

From February until May, Gillespie and Parker toured the U.S. as members of the Earl Hines Orchestra.
Several dates are known, but no recordings have surfaced.
