CHARLIE PARKER

PR, 'Pershing Hotel Ballroom', East 64th Street, Chicago, Ill., Monday, October 23,1950.

Charlie Parker (as); unknown (tb,-n); probably Earl Lavon Freeman (ts,-a/e?); Chris Anderson (p); George Freeman (g);
Leroy Jackson (b); Bruz Freeman (ds); unknown male (vcl,-2).

Note:

-n is recently discovered.

This tape recording was made by Donald Coy, edited to Parker solos and exchanges. The tape was recorded off a dressing room
speaker, and parts of some items ("Embraceable You" through "All the Things You Are") are marred by conversation.
A second version of "Pennies from Heaven" was recently discovered. It ends after the Parker solo, and an unknown trombone can be
heard.
The four titles issued on Philology Volume 14 are listed there as from Pershing Ballroom, November 1949, but they clearly belong here.
