Note:

The Uptown CD release (and excellent notes by Ron Fritts and Ira Gitler) clear up a number of mysteries about this music.
The fragments issued on Philology consist of opening themes and the occasional Parker solo, and are poor quality throughout.
(Both Philology and Masters of Jazz -- as well as the prior LP releases on Phoenix 17 and Spotlite 123 -- list this as Parker
with the Nat Cole Trio.) A few of the items are still incomplete (e.g. "These Foolish Things"), but the sound is improved over
the previous versions, and most of the personnel are identified from the stage. This date was booked as Willis Conover's Jam
Session No. 3 - Dixieland vs. Be-Bop, and Parker is in top form on the tunes he plays on.
