Note:

This is the first Norman Granz attempt to showcase Parker in different settings.

Referring to this session between numbers at the Roost several days later, Symphony Sid Torin says, "That new thing that you did with
Machito was really one of the most sensational things yet... One of the most sensational things, recorded for Mercury on the bop
series, it's received a lot of wonderful kicks... It more or less puts bop in a more or less commercial sort of a groove, don't you
think?" Parker laconically answers, "Well, if you wanna take it that way, but I mean, 'bop' is just a title, I mean, it's all still
music to me."
