CHARLIE PARKER with MATHITO'S AFRO-CUBAN BAND

PR, 'The Renaissance Ballroom', NYC, Friday, May 19,1950.

Charlie Parker(as) with Machito's Afro-Cuban band:
probably Howard McGhee, Mario Bauza, Frank 'Paquito' Davilla, Bobby Woodlen (tp); Gene Johnson, Fred Skerritt (as); Jose Madera,
Frank Socolow (ts); Leslie Jonahkins (bars); Rene Hernandez (p); Frank Grillo (aka 'Machito') (leader,maracas); Roberto Rodriguez (b);
Jose Mangual (bgo); Luise Miranda (cga); Ubaldo Nieto (timbales).

Note:

"Mambo Fortunado" is the same tune as the "Mambo" part of "Afro-Cuban Jazz Suite" performed in the studio with Machito in the studio
on December 21, 1950.
The identity of this group -- and the presence of Parker -- has been disputed, e.g. by Phil Schaap. But in the absence of an alternative,
I will leave the personnel as usually listed.
