Note:

This was a midnight All-Star jam session (the Howard staged such events regularly at this time). Another version of
"Cool Blues" (with just a Parker-led quartet) is sometimes included with this session, but it belongs on February 21-22, 1953.
The last three titles (all without Parker) have not been released commercially as far as I know.
