These recordings were discovered in the 1960s by Frank Driggs, and were long thought
to be Parker's earliest recordings.
The seven tunes recorded by McShann at KFBI Studio are often listed together on
November 30, but
a hand-written track sheet shows that two tunes are from November 30 and the
remainder from December 2. The same archive has a great photo of the McShann group with a very young Charlie Parker.
I am grateful to Leif Bo Petersen for alerting me to the existence of these photos.
