"Well, there goes the Sextet and 'Floogie Boo'. In that sextet was Al Jarvis on piano, Carl Pruitt on the bass, Sam Taylor, tenor, Vess Payne on the drums, Charlie Parker, the alto sax, and Cootie himself on the trumpet. Now Cootie, take me back where I belong. I got them 'St. Louis Blues'..."

Note:

      - h is played by a sextet:       Williams (tp); Parker (as); Taylor (ts); Jarvis (p); Pruitt (b); Payne (ds).
      Parker solos only on "Floogie Boo," where the orchestra is scaled down to a sextet.
      He's probably in the ensemble on the other numbers, but it's hard to tell.
